I see no reason why I can't have gone through an ordeal in the past or currently be on an adventure. It's probably easier to look back at ordeals and call them adventures because your state of mind is now positive, but at the time it was an ordeal because you had a negative state of mind. It's rarer to have a positive state of mind while dealing with something and looking back with a negative state of mind...
