I have been a complete grump this week.
Monday was fine … Tuesday it started creeping in and by today, Friday, I woke up ready to scream! I am beyond cantankerous. I am a grouch of the first order.
And it becomes even more frustrating that I have no idea why. I have nothing to be grumpy about. I am a lucky person. My life is a dream compared to so many others. Nothing has set me off. I am not mad at anyone or anything. I didn’t even ruin something that I was baking (as per usual)! I can’t find any reason whatsoever that I should be grumpy.
BUT I AM!
Boo.
By this morning I have been determined to kick it.
I did my usual to try to cheer myself …
Remembered last nights sunset:
No Smile.
: : :
Watched Scotch being goofy:
No Smile.

Made a yummy breakfast of eggs & kale:
No Smile.
: : :
Did the dishes (this may seem a little crazy I know but sometimes order makes me so happy):
No Smile.

And with one last try …
I danced:
Lately I have been dancing for at least 30 minutes several days a week. I do it in an aerobic way where I throw on the music and dance until I sweat and I can no longer breathe. I dance as if I were in the club, the lights were low and I am there to get down! I can’t say why this makes me happy but it does. I guess in one way or another I have been dancing since I was quite little (starting with ballet and tap). There is something so open about it, so freeing. I really, really love to dance.
And now … I’m smiling.
Happy weeks-end and another one beginning.
