I've been experiencing the same lightening of mood. The gorgeous spring weather could be playing a part. It also could be that last year's divorce bombshell is receding into the rear view mirror for me.
Whatever the reason, even though I still live among a large tribe of TDS true believers, and little has objectively changed, I feel steadier on my feet somehow. I have a better perception about what I can and cannot change, Much closer to full acceptance of "the full catastrophe" (to steal a good phrase from Zorba the Greek!)
