Grumpy
By: James Date: January 27, 2013, 11:25 am

I am sure it is not just me.
Have you ever had that experience when you wake in the morning
and soon find you are irritable because you can find the socks
you want to wear followed by other meaningless irritations.
Then the light dawns 'I feel grumpy'.
Now this is the crux, I feel grumpy but do not know why I feel
grumpy. Also I am almost happy to stay grumpy, well at least
for a period of time, then I come out of it.
Is this just age , not that we can make an excuse for our fleshy
actions!

It is said that if one goes to sleep angry, they will likely
wake up angry. Could it be that something got to you yesterday
or the other day that you haven't resolved, that could be making
you grumpy? Since it hasn't been resolved you have been going to
sleep grumpy and in return waking up still grumpy, so that the
slightest thing just reignites the grumpy mood? Just a thought.

/>Sorry I just couldn't pass that one up..too good to miss.
I don't find that I feel grumpy, mine is more like 'spacy', more
floaty and detached. I always tell Dave so he knows it is not
directed 'at him'. It is a strange feeling like being glazed
eyed. After a few hours it vanishes as quickly as it came...but
I hate it.
There are times when I have a dream with Dave in it and he does
something which makes me mad...on those morning I also tell
him...more like he "feels-it" when I hit him.
He says " What was that for", I say...because you drove off in
the car and left me to walk home." These days, when I hit him,
he laughs and said..."Okay, what did I do in your dream last
night?" ;D
So James, maybe someone stole your gun in a dream, but you
forgot the dream maybe.
Emotions are VERY STRANGE things...and they are not the Truth,
yet feel real and just like the truth.
hmmmmm.

My opinion is that being grumpy is not that bad a thing. Just
mildly so. That's what I think.
Some day I should lay out Hubbard's list of emotions that he
called the Tone Scale. Grumpiness -- he'd call that
"antagonism." It's basically, "Don't bother me. If you bother
me, I'll bother you."
It's not that unhealthy. But it is saying there is probably
something going on around you that is going wrong and you resent
even the slightest annoying thing that piles on. Being sick can
also make people grumpy since there is something going wrong
with their body. Are you gaining weight yet? How is your
health?
Anger is lower than that, according to Hubbard. There the
person thinks being reasonable isn't working and he wants to
strike out at things and people -- and to tell the truth,
sometimes he may be right in part. There are some people who
you can't reason with. But you're better off not being around
them.
Below that is the "concealed anger." Many people don't express
anger -- they are afraid to -- so they fall down below anger
into "covert hostility" which is a mixture of anger and fear.
This type smiles at you and says sweet things while planning to
stab you in the back when you're not looking. If you have
someone like this in your life, get rid of them or tell them to
shape up. But they are also skillful liars -- so they may
promise to shape up and then plot revenge when you're not
expecting it.
A happy person will often fall into grumpy moods around someone
in covert hostility. You can sense something is wrong but
things look so right; but the person who is secretly angry
usually makes you uncomfortable. But you think, "He's so nice
-- I have to be wrong to feel uncomfortable." Then when they
do stab you in the back, you say, "I knew it all along." Has
someone new entered your life lately? Or has someone else's
emotional state changed lately, making you feel uncomfortable?
I'd say it's either your health or something or someone in your
life that's making you grumpy, and you haven't spotted exactly
what it is yet. I lived with people who put me a grumpy mood
-- and I denied it because I wanted to think they cared about
me. The evidence was clear, but I didn't want to see it, so I
tended to be grumpy about other little things. Still, over
all, it's not that unhealthy.

Never heard of the tone scale but it does sound interesting.
Good reminder Kerry, I just went and checked. I have put on 8
ponds which when I consider that my son and his wife have been
away for a week and Jeanette and I are running round like mad
things trying to keep up with our two grandchildren is no bad
thing. What with dressing them feeding and keeping them amused
and educated, meals take a bit of a back seat. It has been fun,
only three more days then mum and dad return.
Yes I did rather leave myself open there Helen ;).
You all may be right. Thinking about it, it seems I am more
saying please do not interrupt me today, a bit like your spaced
out Helen. I may be using grumpy as a way of trying to keep
people at bay rather than saying my mind is busy and unless it
is sudden death please do not interrupt me.

Move over guys.. Today it is my turn.
Today I am very sad and my heart is heavy. Yet I know , deep
within me , if not somewhat hidden...that " All things do work
together for good to those who love God and are the called
according to His purpose."

Feeling sad is normal I think when we lose something or feel
something's being lost. It's part of the reality of an
imperfect world. I'm sad if I lose something I care about,
not sad if I lose something I don't care about. The person who
is never sad? I wonder if he ever really cared about anything?
Suffering is a risk we take when we care.
I asked James about his health. We haven't heard about yours
lately; and I'm still wondering how things are turning out for
you.

Thanks for asking. My mind is in a better place, in that I no
longer let my body be the boss.( most times)
On the days when my heart plays up..I try to 'press through'.
Dave says- " stay home from work' or 'don't go shopping'....I
used to agree and rest my body and heart. Now I don't, I said to
him this week. "Well my time is precious, who knows how much
more time any of us have left, so, if I'm going to leave here, I
will leave on my feet, living as normal person." He agreed.
Sometimes when it hits, I feel so weak and dizzy that it isn't
safe to go outside and I have nothing to 'push' with....but most
times I can press through.
James, Glad to hear that you have put on some weight finally.
You were too skinny in April, and I heard that you even lost
weight after leaving here!! BTW, one thing I know that can make
us
(the ones getting older) grumpy is that, on the inside we feel
that we are just the same as we ever were....but the body no
longer is able to do what the young person inside wishes.
That is frustrating and sometime make us frustrated and grumpy.
Just a thought.
Sometimes dad got angry, and almost ever time , when it was
'talked out', it usually was because he was no longer the active
man he once was.
Just a time of re-channeling skills and giftings.
