Beware of Dog

Do you ever feel like you need a sign to warn people of your current state of being? Maybe you celebrated something wonderful the night before that caused the current morning / day to begin a little bit more slowly for you. Maybe you need a few minutes of quiet time before breaking into song or dance. Maybe you need you need to roll around on the floor and lie still for a moment before getting up to embrace the day... it's almost like we need a sign "beware of dog" or "beware of slow going," "beware of not feeling so chatty."

It's easy to take our lack of enthusiasm for the day, out on those around us without meaning to do so. We might snarl or bite at someone even though it's not their fault we're not feeling into the day. When I feel like this, and I know I am just needing some more Hagar time, I try to keep my growling to myself and instead react in a more silent manner until I am feeling better... that way, it's easier to ease into the day and with a few hours, I'm feeling back to being myself.

Today, beware of puppy....
