The challenge was "go the entire day without complaining". I don't think I managed it. There was a little incident after dinner when the Beloved was asked a question, and he didn't respond. This really, really bugs me. I don't know if he has heard, is thinking about it, has decided upon something and hasn't yet shared the information, or whether he is ignoring me. We had a little discussion about this and it was resolved by the following:
Me: You're a poo poo head.
Him: Your poo poo head.
That seemed to sum it all up, and everything was fine again.
When I was looking for images to use with this blog post, they were all rather wordy. A few made me stop and think. One I really liked was "Happy people don't complain." and this is true. The unhappier I am, the more I complain.
I also liked "Don't be a complainer - make things better." This could well be my motto for next year! An interesting one was "Don't complain about things you are unwilling to change." "Complaining does not work as a strategy. We all have finite time and energy. Any time we spend whining is unlikely to help us achieve our goals. And it won't make us happier."
Some thought provoking stuff!
