Yes, life is less than perfect, but it's always been that way—don't let the little imperfections make you cranky hard to live with.

While there are many serious issues to worry about in the world today (terrorism, money, job security, yellow teeth), it's usually not the big things that cause cranky outbreaks.

Instead of getting huffy over the little things that go wrong, why not feel good about the big things in your life that are right?

This is a perfect time to clear out the crankies. It's a good time to turn inward and relax, to show up and grow up.

It's also a good time to ponder the question, "Why Is Everyone So Cranky?" so you can avoid getting bit by the cranky bug!
