I just thought I'd add to the stream of type: things are going pretty darn well lately. Finances are OK again (and in fact I'll get a booster-shot in the paycheck just in time to get my relatives proper Christmas presents instead of wimpy ones), my bigger health issues are vastly improving, work is going well (even if busy!) and I'm even getting along with my boss. The change-seeking I'm doing (style, clothing, behavior) is indicative of enough comfort to go seeking change for the enjoyment of it, instead of being forced into it. On top of it all a few minutes ago I was able to secure a 9 day vacation over the holidays this year, probably for a fun road trip or similar, and I still have over a month of vacation days left unused.
I fear I've become prey to Zimmerman's Law of Complaints and taken to only mentioning things when they get annoying. (the literal version of Zimmerman's Law is 'nobody notices when things go right') I did have some confusing times while I got my act together this fall and stumbled through an involved personal choice about my weight. The act is better under control and the choices are proceeding well, if at a slow-and-safe pace, so my life has returned to a good, more-mellow state.
One of my indicators is how often I will just sit back and listen to music for visualizing purposes; a kind of daydream-reinforced meditation. When I'm too stressy or too worried I never find time to do that. I'm glad to state that I've spent a lot of time adrift in the music lately: a sign that things are well.
Here's to hoping that all my net-friends out there are finding a similar calm as the winter sets in. Everybody deserves a good mellow state now and then.
