a quarter full?

in looking back on this past weekend, i would have say that the experience, particularly on sunday, more closely resembled what my weekends were like in the first half of the year rather than the ones i've had most recently. it was a challenging time of trying to stay positive and hopeful about life, and while i wouldn't say that i fell victim to utter despair (something that was pretty common from january through june), i can't exactly say i was all that happy either, but i pushed through to the best of my ability.

now on this second day of the week, my mood continues to be subdued but it has improved. i find at least some small solace in that fact as i was beginning to wonder if the decline was going to continue unabated until i was back in the "hide all sharp objects" zone once again. now i think i'm pretty much back to that neither happy nor sad state.

and while the perspective on the improvement certainly reflects a glass half full approach, if i were to go with my usual glass half empty lens, i am questioning if i will ever feel better than the way i do at this time in life. and that thought alone makes me wonder if the glass is really even half full.
