Lynn Toler Instagram – I was scrolling, trying to find something #funny. But nothing … I mean nothing … struck me as such this morning. The weather report is reading cloudy with a huge low pressure system stagnant above me. Not one to let my moods choose me, I embarked on a sojourn through my phone to see if I could find anything funny there. While this is not that I found it uplifting nevertheless. 1) I was outside mid 2023. Smiling. If I found a way to be okay that day, I should be able to do it today, too. 2) It also confirmed the wisdom of my re-homing Tess. I had massive guilt about that. But two birds in a day? I don’t specifically recall that, but it did remind me of the daily stress of in-home carcass location and collection, so I am gonna let that go. 3) Did you see me realize my shirt was too low? Much of what many of you so kindly dub #authenticity on my part is typically little more than laziness and a tomboy nature. I should have checked the shot and made changes, but that would be the rational response of an individual who is patient. As you all know, that ain’t me. I said all of that to say this: Don’t let your mood pick you. And most certainly don’t let any random individuals with whom you have contact today pick your mood either. That is not the kind of work you want to outsource. #emotions #emotionalintelligence.
