Given that things are never black and white, I still like having little tricks that can help me 80-90% of the time. In today's case, it is remembering that one of the main causes of crankiness is just plain being tired. In fact, just by remembering that point all by itself, I can relax and not let the little things "get to me" regardless of my sleep deficit. Step 1 = understanding the connection between fatigue and short fuse (get sleep when possible). Step 2 = realizing that the crankiness is not related to my current situation (move back to center as I detach from the distractions).

Hawaiian word:
Māluhiluhi: tired
Maha: rest

    AH.... you wrote this episode just for me ;)
    I am so with you on tired = cranky.
    I think that is one main reason I've adjusted better to my move here without 'episodes' and upset - because I don't know when I've been more rested. It's given me strength to work on my adaptation to living here and helped me cope with my missing my family.
