Anger Management?

Well I have another theory.

Things have been going quite well for us as of late, we found a house, made a bid, it was accepted, and it looks like we will have no problem selling our house. (People have already been in to see it, and liked it quite well.)So this means things have been looking positive around here lately, which is good for a moody guy like me.

Then today our youngest son was riding his bike around the yard. Now I have told him several times not to ride between the two cars in the yard, one being our car, the other being my work car. As you may have guessed he did not head my words of wisdom today, and now the car I drive for work has a very noticeable scratch on the driver’s side.

I was very angry, I still am. I will have to explain what happened to my boss, I will offer to pay for the repair, it’s just the right thing to do. Of course being 7 years old my son had forgotten later in the day how upset I was, and seemed to forget the seriousness of the situation, as he curled up next to me with his head on my shoulder and asked "What are you doing daddy?"

So now comes my theory; If I stay angry (as is my nature) am I simply inviting more negativity into my household, will my “I’m angry and have a right to be!” attitude bring more “bad luck” if you will?

Should I simply take a page from my son’s book and let it go, not that he will not be punished, but deal with it and move along? It’s harder for me than it sounds. I tend to stew on things, stay angry “go into my cave” as someone once said.

So, am I looking or trouble? Or am I just a moody old shit?
