we are the DREAMWALKERS

At my last job, everyone thought our maintenance guy was horrible. He was consistently the gruffest, crankiest person I’ve ever met. He was also one of my favorite people. I know a secret a lot of people don’t know about grouches; they can be the kindest, most loyal people around. I also understand that their meanness isn’t about me. Most people aren’t cranky as a personal choice. We assume that they don’t care how their behavior affects someone, but that couldn’t be further

We’ve got mass shootings, animal abuse, people shouting at each other over nonsense, and a million other negative images and ideas being streamed at us 24/7. It overwhelms me sometimes, and I am an emotionally healthy person with a Pollyanna complex. I can only imagine how people who might be a little more anxious than I am might be reacting. Stati
