Monday, in which Wendy is of Churlish Deportment

My master is of churlish disposition,
And little recks to find the way to heaven
By doing deeds of hospitality.
Bill "I never lose my cool" Shakespeare

Yesterday, I was, well, NOT in a good mood.  If I was an adjective I would have been CHURLISH.

My mother used to say that on those days one isn't fit for human consumption.

But the sad reality of course is that even when we are in these moods we are still confronted with our friends and family, at least to a certain extent. 

I am usually a positive person, but I have my moments.  I try not to dwell on them too much, not only for my own sake, but for the sake of friends and family. 

And of course if you read blogs and Facebook you would think that the entire world is having, to quote my lovely Disney benefactor, "a Zippideedooda Day".  Yes, he really did say that....

Well they're not.

Yesterday I was kind of stomping everywhere, at least in my head.  It could have been our umpteenth snow storm.  It could have been that the first outfit I put on was hideous.

It made me rail at myself, since wasn't I the person who'd just written a lovely post on abundance?

But sometimes we don't practice what we preach. 

Sometimes we are jealous of our friend's accomplishments even as we celebrate them. 

Sometimes we look in the mirror and only notice the crow's feet and think "how the hell did that part of my face start to droop so much?" 

Sometimes, we eat too many chocolates and curse our self-control. 

Sometimes we are snappish and snippy and woebegone for no apparent reason.

Sometimes we judge people who we have no business judging.  Sometimes we judge ourselves.

Sometimes, we are just a bitch. 

And then we flog ourselves and when I saw this morning that I lost a blog follower my first thought was "well OF COURSE I lost a blog follower!" because well, I am such a terrible person and all.

Of course I may be the only person in the history of the universe who ever feels that way.... :-)

Or maybe, we are just suffering from what my friend Brian has coined Foreveruary. 

If the latter is the case, then here are some images that I am passing along in the hopes that if there is anyone else out there today feeling slightly grumpy or chubby or under-appreciated or over-worked or whatever, these will help you, too!  All pictures are from my pinterest Awww! category, which I've collected just for days like this...

There, now I feel better!

Anyone else have the February blues? Feeling Melon Collie?  Struggling with the snow, heat, whatever?

I am working hard on finding that abundant feeling this morning....

And I feel much better, truly, having told you about it.  Because sometimes we need our friends to lighten our load and well, I like to be true to you all....

Stay safe (and happy!) out there!

Suck it Christopher....
