To Be Human

For the past few days, I have been very moody. I've always tried not to displace this crankiness (sorry Mom!) when this happens. And it is tough.

Sometimes we need to allow ourselves to be human (see page 160 of My Life with the Saints, James Martin, SJ). We get irritable and we have to learn how to deal with it and face the consequences when we don't control these feelings.

"I really pray for that kind of acceptance of myself. And also for the ability to be myself, not always putting on a brave face before everyone, particularly when I am depressed, worried, confused, etc. " - James Martin, SJ
