HONOLULU (KHON2) — It’s National Do a Grouch a Favor Day.
You read that correctly. But you’re probably thinking to yourself, “um, how is doing a favor for a grouchy person a remedy?”
Well, it all lies within a little concept known as intention.
Grouchy people are grouchy for an exponential number of reasons, and no two grouchy people are alike.
However, there is one thing that many grouchy people cannot resist; and that is authenticity, which is where the remedy lies.
As we know, grouchy people have a long list of synonyms that we tend to call them. While some are bit more insulting, some are simply a description of how they make us feel about them.
Curmudgeon, crank, grump, sourpuss, bellyacher, grouse, crosspatch, malcontent, crab, grumbler, these are all names that help us deal with the grouchiness.
However, in those rare moments where the random person is able to turn around their mood, we look on with amazement.
Of course, most grouches we know are a friend, a relative, a co-worker, a boss, a neighbor or probably someone who lives in our house.
