It's always best when these feelings come at the end of the day. Then you only have to enjoy it until you fall asleep :) Definitely love this quote! Such wisdom.
Enjoy the Feeling
Occasionally a missionary told me in an interview, "I'm not doing very well. I just seem to be depressed and discouraged." Unless there was an unusual reason for these feelings, my answer was, "Well, I'm glad to hear that. At least now we know that you're normal. Enjoy the feeling-it probably won't last. And the first sunny day will do wonders for it."
It helps a great deal if we realize that there is a certain healthy element in getting the blues occasionally. It is quite in order to schedule a good, discouraging, depressing day every now and again just for contrast.
