My definition of a good day is never stable, just as it means different things to different people. It changes as life unfolds.
Some Saturdays, whenever I get home late at night, because that's usually the peak day of my work, I check my pocket and account balance, and I smile, tagging it a good day because of the good amount of money I made during the day, even though I really worked my body to the core. So, at that moment, the stress I passed through doesn't count when tagging the day, but the good inflow of money into my wallet does. On the other hand, Saturdays when I don't make enough money despite working my body so hard, my brain tags such days as not-so-good days. I won't call them bad, though, as long as I didn't encounter trouble or something terrible.
So, in a nutshell, a day on which I have a good inflow of income (and not a bigger outflow) is regarded as a good day, even if the work I did that day weakened my body system.
Another thing that defines a good day for me is a day free of bad news.
I'm someone who is deeply emotional, even though I try as much as possible to hide the explosion of these emotions. Bad news typically spoils my day, and it does so badly that it becomes difficult for my mind to settle down or stop thinking restlessly. There was a certain day when news got to me that my immediate younger brother had been involved in an accident and was being admitted to the hospital. It was a terrible situation, according to the description I received at that moment, and my mind literally left my body and started wandering in deep thoughts. The location was far from where I was, and there was no way I could just lock up my shop and head to the location. So, I was just there, lost in deep and restless thoughts, calling my family every now and then to find out how things were going. Although, in the end, the news turned out to be good because there was no loss of life, I must say that the day was bad for me because I was helpless in the face of my emotions, and that translated into how I handled work for the day. I was so down!
To summarise this, a day devoid of bad news is a good day for me, and it gets even better if good news comes along.
#Can a day fall somewhere in between the points I have mentioned above?
Any day that falls somewhere in between the points I highlighted above, which is likely impossible, is also tagged as a bad day for me.
At my current stage of life, money and good news make a day qualify as a good one, while the absence of these is seen as a bad day.
Maybe things are bound to change in the future, but for now, this is how it is.
Thank you.
