When you're living on borrowed time, and aren't we all, it makes no sense to wait to be happy. I've heard it said that if you don't feel like you want, act the way you want to feel. Sometimes just forcing yourself to smile will kick in a real smile. Other times you need booze. Boyfriend, at my age every morning I realize I haven’t died in my sleep that night makes me happy.

I default to that constantly when I am nowhere near where I believe I should be. If I'm really down deep in some gutter, I find I have to drop whatever I intended to do, no matter how significant any of it was. I wander out to my banana sun chair and just sit there. A lot of it stems from the expectations I place on myself. Exercise is only fun when you do it without planning for it! I like doing it but I start to dread it if I push it into a particular schedule. I'd twitch at the idea of looking forward to that first thing in the morning hehe. Glad you found some points for yourself and were able to make some smiles again =) Familiar territory post reading the stop criticizing bit.
