I agree.
There are lots of aspects of life that I enjoy. Mostly the little things like a hug from my daughter, a great conversation with a friend or Christer's company. There are also things that aren't possible to enjoy. The illness of a child, the death of relatives/friends etc.
I do not try to push back those un-enjoyable aspects of life though. They are like uninvited people who is banging at my door. If I keep them outside (of me) and avoid thinking about them, then they'll start making noise and ruin my day. If I welcome them inside and take a good look at them I don't have to fear them, just endure them.
The trick is to catch the moments that are enjoyable. I've also noticed that if I've got something to look forward to (seeing a friend at the pub, going away for the weekend, a great book or game, even a TV show that I enjoy) life is very enjoyable!
OK with these words of (my) wisdom the Thread can peacefully pass away.
