Argh!

Have you ever had one of those days where everything gets on your nerves? Everything that happens, every person you see just gets on your last ever-loving nerve. I'm having one of those days.

Why can't people just cooperate? Why can't they just read my mind and just know? "Hey, I think Edie is having a bad day. Let's leave her alone and not ask for anything today."

The things I want people to do, they don't do and the things I want them to not do, they do. Things aren't going exactly the way I want them to, so I feel justified in taking it out (in my mind, of course) on everybody I come across.

I wouldn't say what I'm thinking to their faces, but I feel guilty for just thinking it. I feel selfish, mean and ornery.

Then I read the news...

16-Year-Old Dies After School Shooting
5 Men Found Dead in Alabama Apartment
Woman Leaps from Ohio Hospital 5th-Floor Window
Man Charged with Murder in Teen's Beating, Burning
Mugger Beats Woman, 85, in Elevator for Purse, Cane

Kind of puts things in perspective, huh? On my WORST day, I don't deal with these kinds of things.

Caring about people, being kind and courteous, having respect for others. These are pretty basic things I should be able to do even when I don't feel like it. After all, mine may be the only smile, the only kind words someone gets today.

Have a great day! :)
