The Bleat PSA

James Lileks puts thoughts into prose perfectly:

Pounded flat as a tin sheet tonight, and short with my daughter, which always gives me pangs of instant regret. Never, ever take out your mood on your family. It’s the easiest thing to do and the least forgivable; they’re the ones to whom you owe your best self. The fact that they’re closest obligates you to be extra careful.

I confess I can't really decipher the source of his troubles the last few days, but this passage has stuck with me. Your family deserves your best.
