it's not you

Maybe you are frustrated because you can't find a parking space.  Don't yell at the dog, it is not his fault.  Maybe you have been working in the heat of the day and you are hot and sweaty.  You come inside and yell at the kids.  Don't do it.  It is not their fault.  You had a bad day at work.  Don't take it out on the next human you run into.

It's ok to be angry, but don't take it out on the people around you.  If need be, give yourself some time away to recover your grace.  It is also fine to simply let them know that you are upset and it is not their fault.

I am sorry that you were hot.  I am sorry that you were hungry.  Don't kick the dog. Or the other people that you live with.

It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
