curmudgeon

cur·mudg·eon

 [ker-muhj-uhn] Show IPA

noun

a bad-tempered, difficult, cantankerous person.

 

When I looked in the mirror this morning, I thought I saw an old curmudgeon looking back at me, but I was wrong.  Or maybe, I wasn't,  Some days are better than others and the same can be said for my temper, be it bad or good.

 

In all of us lies a dormancy of one nature or another; today, I think I'd like to be "the friendly old guy across the street".

 

I'll work on that.
