The way the sunshine hurt my eyes when I woke this morning,
was just something exaggerated by my mood,
amplified to give me something to complain about.
The way I missed the light switch three times,
before I finally turned the light on,
was just another addition to the beginning of a melancholy day.
My disgust for sleeping late again,
simply isn't enough if I can't admonish myself silently for the rest of the day.
When the eggs didn't crack just the way I wanted,
I grumbled and cursed at the shells in the pan.
When I almost dropped the knife on my toe,
I cursed even more.
All of these things and mishaps even more,
shouldn't be so important.
I shouldn't be so grumpy,
For all the small things are trivial,
Compared to the real things going on around me.

Ahh, gentle one, you had some of my Viking brood it seems, but knowing you, a smile will soon shine, as ever was before...very gentle smile

Life's little annoyances swell when larger discontentedness looms. Ride around with me for a day and you'll feel blessed. Enjoyed.
