When I become crabby, it's usually because I'm not getting what I need. And what I need is typically nothing fancy or special, but instead something simple that sustains me like rest, nutritious food, a bit of pleasure, or the completion of a long awaited task.
Recently I fell behind in almost everyone of life's tasks simply because I added a few responsibilities and jobs without taking anything away--that's always a sure path to not getting what you need since the addition of tasks without taking jobs away means something you likely need to sustain yourself has been diminished.
So as I assess life's playing field today, I'm thinking about what I can reasonably do and what I need to remove or at least take a break from in order to dissipate the crabbiness I've been feeling and displaying. Onward.
