My Dad's Mother (my Grandmother) honestly wasn't the NICEST person you would meet... but one thing she would always say is... "If you can't say anything nice... then zip your lip" and she lived that rule probably 95% of the time)... well... lately I have felt like I don't have anything nice to say... so I have been keeping my lip "zipped"...
I feel like my ATTITUDE has really needed adjusting lately... I'm not "intentionally" trying to be "stinky"... or think "stinky" thoughts... it's just "happening"... a LOT... and pretty much every little thing is irritating me lately (nope... not prepping for Aunt Flo either... although that would be an easy "out")... it's really starting to bother me...
I try REALLY HARD to be a good person... set a good example... and most times I'm pretty satisfied with the way I "conduct" myself... but lately I feel I am falling a bit short on things...
I THINK it may just be anxiety over some upcoming "events"... those "grin and bear it" events that are attended out of "obligation" mostly... having to paste a "plastic smile" on our faces and PRETEND all is wonderful ... I'm not really sure... or maybe listening to the same "complaints" over and over... and not understanding why NOTHING is being done to make things better or different...
Anyway... I have a stinky attitude... and KNOW I need an adjustment... If I close my eyes and listen... I can hear my Grandmother loud and clear...

I think I should listen to your gramma too. I too lately have been having a not so nice attitude.
I partially blame the postpartum, the screaming kids, barking dogs, but even when everything is going well I get mean.
I have to time myself out, and realize how good I have it, and that I should be happy for what I got.
