Sometimes we just find ourselves in a bad mood, here some love for you if that is where you are today

1. “I’m not in a
bad mood.
Everyone is
just…
annoying.”
(Anonymous)

2. I am an ‘always
look on the
bright side of
life’ kind of
person.

3. But recently I got
up on the
proverbial wrong
side of bed

4. I had no life stress,
the weather was
great, but I could not
be moved from under
the storm cloud that
hung over my head

5. I acknowledged that I
had nothing to
complain about,
and knew that there
are many around me,
who have deep worries
and concerns in their
lives.
Yet I remained
unrepentant in my
bemoaning.

6. I cleaned out a
cabinet - trying to
bring about the zen
of order and
perception of my
power to affect
change in the
universe if only the
universe of my
kitchen.

7. I finished a bunch of
stuff on my work list
of things to do –
hoping again to let
the sense of peace
about accomplishing
something,
lighten my day.

8. I looked to the
stars and read two
different versions
of my horoscope -
hoping that the
universe could
offer me
some relief.

9. I took a walk in
woods
- trying to
appreciate the
simple beauty of
the day.

10. I booked some
summer holiday
time – hoping
that looking
ahead to sunny
warm days would
move me.

11. I ate some
cookies -
because
cookies
are good
for your soul.

12. None of it
worked.

13. Finally, instead of
chasing it away,
I decided to just let
myself be
in a bad mood and
concentrate instead
on not taking it out
on anyone
and everyone
I encountered.

14. Most days,
we need to strive
to be positive,
to see the good
in life,
to count our
blessings.

15. Sometimes we
need to wallow.
That too renews
our energy and
lets us love
ourselves for
whoever we are
In any moment.

16. "It's easy to have faith
in yourself
and have discipline
when you're a winner,
when you're
number one.
What you've
got to have
is faith and discipline
when you're not
yet a winner."
Vince Lombardi

17. So whether you are on
top of the world,
or at the bottom of a
long steep climb.
Be Good to Yourself.
You are beloved by the
Divine,
for who are today
and in every moment.

18. And - in case you
thought optimism
was dead.
Remember -
The average pencil is
seven inches
long, with just
a half-inch eraser.
Robert Brault
