Grouchy Lessons
Yesterday I didn’t allow myself to blog because I needed to work after taking a day off for the wedding. I told myself that I would get to it in the evening after taking care of business. But, by the time I got home from the office I was all grouchy and irritable. And then, my husband could do no right and the teens were being rude to one another. What ended up happening is that in the middle of dinner I needed to excuse myself because I felt so annoyed and frustrated.
After spending some time alone (I actually dosed off for a few minutes!) and walking the dog we all got back together and cleared the air. I shared how I was feeling and apologized for being grouchy. The teens said sorry too and then we all decided to go see Wall-E, which was funny and heartwarming. The day was rocky, but turned out nice.
In retrospect, I see now how blogging helps me to clear my heart and mind so that I can get on with all the other things I need to do during my day. It’s turned out to be an important tool I use to process life and keep me smiling. So today instead of feeding a bad mood with a jumbo bag of Reeces Pieces, I’m giving myself permission to blog!
