I realized today after I’d been a bit more snarky than normal that I’ve got a good case of the grumps. What is interesting about this case of the grumps is that it is mostly manifesting in lack of patience with people, with things, with the season. With everything. It isn’t patience with speed but with more the patience you call upon when you need to be tolerant or mindful. I’m finding that those small things I can typically – and easily – let go of are harder to simply breathe away.
I know that this will be a short lived thing but I also think there is no harm to me in taking a moment to acknowledge that I’m out of sorts. To remind myself to breathe deep. To find my center and balance. To not fall into being impatient and grumpy.
I’m sorry that you too have been hit by the grumps. They seem to be sneaking up on a lot of people lately. It’s been a long winter, hasn’t it?
I love your outlook in this post! Thank you so much for sharing. It is exactly what I needed to read today.
Take care!

(((Hugs))) Hope you de-grumpify soon. I have had a pretty down time latel.y as well. today I stood outside in the rain, closed my eyes and breathed deeply (no I was not grumpy, I was loving it!) The dogs were quite concerned though and were trying to round me up and get me under the pagola. It was too funny! I think it was the whole just standing there thing that bothered them as I had been gardening in the rain and they did not care.
Thinking of you.
