Next time you think someone's about to chop off your head, get off the bed.
Why would you be screaming at muddy kids or cats? Mothers see muddy kids all the time. You pick them up and drop them in the tub. Cats take care of any mud, themselves. That's everyday life.
Think of good things. Things like walking barefoot down a "road" that consists of tire tracks of soft, warm dirt with grass growing up in the middle, startling a quail up from some weeds off to the side, a bluebird sitting on a fence post watching till you get so close that it flies away, wildflowers popping up occasionally along to side of the road, wild blackberries that you pick as you go and pop in your mouth. Think of a pond surrounded by trees, a lizard scuttling away from you, frogs jumping in as you pass along the shore, one particular tree with moss at the base, a good soft place to sit on as you watch the rings the quietly appear on the surface of the pond, an occasional bass jumping out of the water, birds in the trees. Think of listening to the frogs sing. Sometimes there's a heron on the far side. And if you get in a boat and quietly row over to the shallow end, you can see underwater grass with the bass swimming among them.
