If you’re grumpy…and you know it…

If you’re grumpy…and you know it…cut it out

For some of us…grumpy is the norm

For others…it’s the exception

For some…it doesn’t take much

For others…it is so unusual…

That it’s worrisome…

Evidence that something is seriously wrong

There are different reasons for grumpy

Some are justified…

Others…no reason…just grumpy

Sometimes we know why we’re grumpy…

Stomach’s too empty…or too full…

Circumstances of life…body aches and illnesses…etc

For some it’s just a season…temporary

And for others…it seems eternal

The good news is that grumpy doesn’t have to be…

And we certainly don’t have to let his or her grumpy…

Become our grumpy

Recognize it for what it is…be honest about it…

And know that grumpy begets grumpy

It can jump from person to person…

Even generation to generation

So if you’re grumpy…and you know it…cut it out

It can be contagious…but so can gratitude…

Break the cycle…

Shut down grumpy with gratitude…

And notice the change within…and around…you
