Optimistic October: Day 10 - Look for the Good Intentions

It's not just Optimistic October; it's also World Mental Health day and my birthday. Traditionally, I've struggled with this day each year.
This year, however, has been the best in quite some time. Not because anything specific happened today in particular. Just that I've gradually got a bit better at dealing with the Black Dog when it comes sniffing around.

I'll pull out something from today, though. There's someone who I often clash with, but today they did something for me which involved going out of their way. It was only a little something, and only the tiniest detour, but it was done nevertheless, and it was done with a smile.

I really appreciated that.
