For the record........
- Bad moods like that don't last long for me.
- Often I am able to handle the big things reasonably well most of the time, the deaths, the moving, the constant coming and going, my husband's stress. But it's usually something little that I completely freak out about when I get too worn out.
- My happy blogs are as genuine as my unhappy blogs, and I don't constantly suspect everyone of being ungenuine or dishonest in their happy blogs. But it is hard to know how to share the hard times, and I think that is a universal struggle.
- When I got to church our pastor gave this definition of bitterness: dissapointment that is allowed to fester.
My mood broke after church for 3 reasons
1) I decided not to let it fester, because bitterness is never worth it
2) I was able to tell my husband "I'm having a rotten time today - I'm in a cloud"
3) Before I had a chance to tell my husband that, I overheard him be completely honest with someone who asked, "How are you?" And rather than say, "Fine," he said, "Not that great really, this has been a tough year."
I've wanted to post all of this since Sunday night, but I just haven't had the time, so - for the record - I have not been super grouchy every day since Sunday.

You're a better person than I...
Wait, does that mean you're actually one of the happy beautiful people?
I may have lots of happiness and beauty in my life, and may have moments of happiness myself, but also for the record, my moods don't necessarily last long, but sometimes they come and go with unfortunate freqency.
