You could just use the immediately preceding day element:

  <xsl:variable name="previous" select="preceding::day[1]" />
  <xsl:if test="$previous">
    <a title="View the previous journal entry"
       href="?{$previous/@date}.{$previous/../@date}.{$previous/../../@date}">
      <xsl:text>Previous</xsl:text>
    </a>
  </xsl:if>

and similarly for the following day element.

Cheers,
