Good mood, Bad mood, Good Mood...

I know we all go through it, some more than others, but I am getting really tired of these stupid mood swings. I was such a grump last night, I was growling at everyone... even my poor puppy was a bit confused by my mood swings yesterday.

I get grumpy when I am hungry, tired, bored... just to name a few. However, the mood usually doesn't stay long, I can fix the problem by... eating, sleeping, or finding something to occupy my mind. I just wish I could still be hungry and happy or sleepy and cheerful or bored and excited. I just have not figured out how to manage that.

I don't know if these moods have just become a habit or what. I mean, do you think it is possible that if I try to practice being happy and hungry that I would eventually change? Or, is it a physiological response that I can't control? And if it is physiological... what purpose does it serve? I mean, it isn't like my being grumpy brings me any closer to my goal of getting what I want. It isn't like the fight or flight response where you can see a clear reward for your behavior. I guess it might work if you were a bear cub and you start acting all grumpy because your hungry... your mom might feed you. If you are a grumpy adult human, people just walk away and leave you alone.

Anyway, a good night of sleep, fixed my grumpy self. I feel much better this morning. :)  So, I guess I will make good breakfast company. ;)
