LOL....in a way your moods right now do flow with theirs (JF and Lois). The true challenge is to cease the affect their mood has on yours. This is actually good for any interaction whether it is your walking deads, kids, or co-workers. We all to often take responsibility of another person's emotional state. Example- My daughter came home from school and was tearing anything in the house a new one (I caught her hollering at the fridge....seriously). So instead of taking ownership of her emotional state and getting angry with her or try fixing it.....I just listened to her problems. I offered no solution, no quick fix, nothing....but she calmed down. I don't suggest doing this with your wife, but it is a different way of dealing with life's relationships.
I will give you a little thinking assignment....Make a list of five things you 100% control. Then make a list of five things that concern you and control you. They can be anything....truly anything.
Example from above.....the walking dead are changing...evolving so to speak. Definitely to be expected. The question is why are you so entranced by their changes, yet not as entranced in making your own? See, by being so focused on them to notice these changes you are not focused on yourself. so you are letting an item of concern (their changes) control your focus on you. Think about it....I am hungry and need to go shopping..... that is something I control.
