If you are in the relationship category, then the awful days are perhaps even more important. The awful days come for couples, hopefully not too many of them, and they also help us see the great days. One difference for couples is that if you can look back—together—on the awful days, that likely means that you are still together. If you can handle the awful days, provided that is not all you have, then you have a good chance of making it for the long haul. There will hopefully be many good days, but when the awful ones come along, try to think of them a little differently. If you can’t, or don’t want to cherish them, at least realize the potential they have for making the great days that much better.
Try to cherish them. I know that sounds weird, but I think it’s important try to cherish the awful days that we all have. For the single among us, there are good and bad days. Hopefully there are more good than bad, but bad days do come. And then there are the awful days. I know that those are the days that none of us want, but they come to us all. So why on earth would we cherish them? Because without the awful days, the great days will not be great. I know some people don’t like dichotomies, but I think this one makes sense. If we don’t have some awful days now and again, then we won’t ever know if we have great days. And the fact that we can look back on those awful days means that we are through them. Awful days are a bit like physical scars—they show how we have lived and overcome.
