"We go all wrong by too strenuous a resolution to go right."
~ Nathaniel Hawthorne ~
Irritability rises when I'm hungry,
or thirsty,
or when I've over-done it and I need a break, but I'm not taking one.
Silly me.
A snack and a sit-down would recover me my happiness lickety split.
I stop pushing beyond reason and take care of myself.
