“Why is everyone so grumpy?” is the headline of a recent article in The New York Times.

I’m too grumpy to read that article, especially because The New York Times makes me so grumpy lately.
I can think of many reasons why everyone is so grumpy, including
- the news,
- the way the media covers the news,
- rapid changes we cannot control,
- physical pain,
- emotional pain,
- disconnection,
- overwhelming responsibilities and experiences,
- trauma,
- fears about the future,
- regrets about the past,
- miscommunication,
- grumpy strangers, friends, and family members, and
- the natural proclivity to focus on the negative.
What can we do when everyone is so grumpy? Let’s see if there are any answers in my other images for today.

If I’m grumpy about anything, it’s about hearing the words Donald Trump, like a mantra, out of my favorite newspeeps mouths ad nauseum. Maybe they could just talk about his awful promises to the nation while only showing his picture. Then talk about the many virtues of Joe Biden, using HIS name like a mantra. News we can use.
I agree, Barbara!
Buy Nothing Day! Many people will be doing the opposite of that today!
