What an attitude

I love this picture. It says it all as far as attitude is concerned. Once in a while I wake up and this is my attitude. This happened this morning. Although usually there is no rhyme or reason for feeling this way, I do have at least an excuse or two today.

For one thing, I didn't sleep well last night. I've mentioned my very sore, swollen fingers. When  I put the cream on that the doctor recommended, they burn and they burned last night for about two hours. I dozed off and on but didn't really sleep until the burning let up.

Then I had an odd dream. All my dreams are a bit odd, of course. This one was about a family member who is going through a rough time and is ignoring the advice of people who may have a wiser view of the situation. This dream just showed the person doing what others had advised against.

We also found out this week that the mother of a very dear friend has pancreatic cancer. This is the same cancer that killed my mother-in-law in 2007  so it's like reliving that sad time all over again. We can only pray and hope that the outcome is different this time.

Add to this our frigid temperatures (Minus 25*C this morning - way too cold for all but a very short walk) and you can possibly see why I was a bit irritable this morning.

Hope your day is going better.
