Bad moments, like good ones, tend to be grouped together.
—Edna O'Brien
Once in a while, we have days when we think the whole world is against us. A parent has reprimanded us, a brother broke our new game, or the teacher at school disciplined the whole class. We sometimes let our thoughts center on a cluster of bad moments and forget the good moments of the day.
We shouldn't forget about the two ducks we fed part of our sandwich to, the friend who made us laugh, or the gym teacher who praised the whole class. Deciding to think about these good moments can allow our spirits to rise and make the bad moments fade away.
After all, if life were all good moments, we would take them for granted. Let us accept the bad ones gratefully, then, as opportunities to appreciate the good.
What good moments can I remember right now?

My sponsor told me if you did not get difficult moments, you would not appreciate the good ones.
My last good moment was running into the woman in the library and still using. It has to be over 5 years since I saw her. I remembered her face not her name. I got the feeling I was to reach out to her and I did. I hope talking to me, helped her as much as it did me.
