Casting light at the good stuff of being Grumpy! Hurrah for bad moods! According to this study it's good for you :)
How about this:
"Whereas positive mood seems to promote creativity, flexibility, co-operation and reliance on mental shortcuts, negative moods trigger more attentive, careful thinking, paying greater attention to the external world.
A mildly negative mood may actually promote a more concrete, accommodative and ultimately more successful communication style
How's that for seeing the beauty in everything? We often think that being grumpy or just having one of those days is something less than optimal. I know that I feel that a lot. It's like as a yogi I need to always be smiling from ear to ear, and bouncing off the walls blissed out of my mind ;) Giving ourselves the time to be grumpy if that's what we need may just be what is necessary to take us deeper into refining who we are and how best to apply and choose the way we engage the world. Being grumpy becomes what we in Anusara Yoga call Muscular Energy, or finding steadiness and groundedness, which is absolutely necessary to finally smile from ear to ear and make all those around you shine with joy :D

Neat huh?
Note to self: Must get a Grumpy t-shirt...
