Moods - good and bad

A long time ago, my first boss told me during a performance review that I was prone to dark moods. I didn't think so, but in all fairness to him, I was in a deep funk that year and had been taking it out on people, mostly him. These days, my boss tells me that I am so unfailingly cheerful, no matter what is going on around me that he marvels at my capacity for brightness. ( Boy, do i sound irritating!) Actually, I try to be cheerful most of the time, no matter what, but believe me, sometimes there's nothing so gloriously uplifting as sinking deep into a sulk.

Early in the mornings, before my coffee, I love to be silent and grouchy. My family knows this, and all of them, without exception keep good mornings and slept wells? to a bare minimum while I stumble with my eyes closed to the kitchen and gulp down my first mouthful of coffee. That's all it takes though, to clear the clouds, so I guess I'm probably more a coffee addict than a morning grouch.

In fact, not too many things can put me in a low mood these days so that's a good thing. I find it's easier to be happy and tolerant. It's a selfish attittude, actually because it makes me, and my life much nicer. On the whole, for all the self-indulgent luxury of a good sulk, I find that I prefer myself in a good mood. So that's what I'm going to try for this year, to kep smiling through the year, come rain,(which is easy because I love rain) come shine, come anything!

:-) Good night and good moods, all!!
