Calling all Grumps

"What a beautiful day!"...Sheesh...
Honestly, I think that phrase conjours up just as much despise and negative emotions as it does good reactions. (I am a night a owl, so I know exactly what that is like.) Often we are already havingenough of a bad  day that  to hear someone glorify it like that is almost sacrilegious to the bad mood we are brewing.
But this is also an opportunity to see the light, and to step into it, as it were. Maybe that annoyingly chipper person was sent to us at that specific moment to tell us that one thing; maybe God was testing you to see how you would react. Sometimes it seems like God has a mean sense of humor.
If you are like me, you may have had a bad day today. And yesterday. And maybe even the day before that. Good! At least now it can hardly get any worse - unless you want it to, of course. Now it's time to wake up and smell the roses!
Some mornings, even the birds singing may sound bad if you are in a "fowl"mood (haha that was a joke. Laugh.) But things are will be so much better once you just trade in that green, grudgy, drudgy, grumpy mess for the Light of a New Day!

So lighten up. It's not all that bad ;-)
