This morning I woke up "on the wrong side of the bed" as the saying goes. My hips ached, my knee hurt, my feet hurt, and I just lay there trying to get some good sleep, but knowing nothing will feel any better until I'm up and out of bed. Nature is a meanie that way. Wouldn't it be lovely to get up because you feel so good that it's just the next natural thing to do??!!
Well, I got grumping around and trying to move and started my usual habit of complaining about everything. It's a wah-wah, poor me : ( thing. People in my mother's family are rather vocal in expressing how they feel at any given moment. I suppose I just grew up with it and that's what I do, forgetting the feelings of those who have to overhear it. Sometimes I think, don't I have a right to complain? But actually, the answer to that is probably "no." It makes little bears feel bad and unwanted and useless, even if it really has nothing to do with them. I'm just grumpy...a grumpy old bear making lots of noise that is nothing more than that..noise. If I would take better care of my world, it wouldn't be so frustrating to me. That's the bottom line, so I am really scolding myself and I deserve the grumbly words, not you. Maybe you should poke me with a big stick .......or make me some toast with honey, eh? : >

Mmm, toast with honey...
Oh, I mean, I'm sorry to hear you had a bad morning. I apologize for all my complaining to you all day. It must be something in the universe. I hope you are feeling better. Maybe you can buy Khrysibear an ice-cream and everything will be okay again? Mmm, maybe a cherry Coke...
hmmm....maybe I'd better pickup my little nannabear and take her with us.
Ice cream sounds really good to me. I am also very good at complaining, and I have to say that some of those achy mornings make it seem justified. I know the feeling, waking up and hurting first thing. With me it's my hands and headaches, my back and neck. Sigh. They didn't tell us about getting old, kept it a secret. Maybe that's just as well. Yesterday I tried to just be in the moment, and it was a good day. No worrying about what can't be changed, or about what is next. I am going to try that again today. Did you get snow!?! That's big excitement around here (it happens so seldom) and we love its beauty. When we lived in Alaska, watching the snowline come down the mountains in the fall and getting that first dusting of white was so much fun--as viewed from the house where it was warm, of course.
I always wanted to live in Alaska because I imagine beautiful mountains with some snow and lots of new spring wildflowers. Papabear always wanted to go south if we moved, where it was warmer. So of course, we stayed here. Now I don't really want to go anywhere. Well, I want to, but I don't feel like it, you know? grumphh!! Do you realize all we could do if we just didn't have to cope with all these aches and pains?!! Where's my tapping book???? Have you tried much of that?
