The use of moods
Aw, thank you sweet people for worrying about my being sad. A few books and I was good as new pale green spring grass. It was just a mood. From the Anne Carson I was reading yesterday:
He hugged his overcoat closer and tried to assemble in his mind Heidegger's argument about the use of moods.
We would think ourselves continuous with the world if we did not have moods.
It is state-of-mind that discloses to us
(Heidegger claims) that we are beings who have been thrown into something else.

Today was a fantastic day. So many good things happened.

Glad to hear things are good.
You are quite an inspiration to those of us who are mere mortals!
