Jo,
I am sorry if I gave the impression that it's not okay to have a "bad" day.
I guess in my way I was only offering my own personal experience that helps me.
I am really glad to see you keep a positive outlook in life.
And you are entitled to your off day, we all are. I really hope today is a better day for you.
