My own default state seems to waver around from month to month, or year to year. I'll go through periods where my default is "generally happy/upbeat", and others where the default is just "neutral/mostly content", and others where the default is "depressed".
That default state doesn't necessarily correlate with how well I perceive events in my life to be going. I'd like to just throw a switch and make "generally happy/upbeat" be my default setting for the rest of my life, but my psyche doesn't appear to work that way. :)
