cranky

[labelleizzy]

I'm a cranky lady tonight.

It sucks to be an adult.

I'm not living up to my own expectations, I'm _almost_ getting what I need (and how FRUSTRATING it is, to fall short of what I need), and it feels like almost everyone (the childish voice says, "no, EVERYONE!") but me is getting more, being happier, more fulfilled, accomplishing their tasks better than I am...

I'm just going to sit over here in my crankypants for a little while.

I like what the Dali Lama basicly said in the beginning of his book The Art of Happiness.
I'll paraphrase in C-ease since I don't recall it exactly...
American's have expectations that happieness depends upon a constrant UP feeling, where happieness should be based upon a basic level of no UP and no DOWN - this feeling of very basic levelness. One could call is satisfaction with the basics.
I've noticed that over the last 5 years that I've been working with this concept that I'm more deeply happy than I've been before.
I'm content - not exstatic - but it fills me more than constants UPs can do anymore.
Hugs & Love,
