A few friends and I are going to give this a try. To go 21 days without complaining. (Some friends are stretching it to 35 days, but I'm sticking with 21 - the number of days it takes to start a habit.)
And that means I can do none the following: kvetch, hen-peck, nag, bother, backbite, bitch, grizzle, yammer, whine, gnarl, grumble, murmur, mutter, grouch, scold, protest, bellyache, gripe, grouse, squawk, holler, inveigh, rail, bemoan, bewail, deplore, lament. (Don't you LOVE a good thesaurus???)
I don't think I would undertake this all on my own. There's safety (and laughs) in numbers. On my own, I would be curled up in a corner, complaining about how hard it is to not complain. But now that I've announced it to the world (or at least to a tiny circle of family and friends), then I probably better give it my best shot. Stay tuned.
(I guess I can't mention that the new puppy is not quite as housebroken as was indicated by her foster mother...)

you know, this would be nice, except things are just so busy for me. what with work, the new baby coming, traffic, global warming, and the weather. I don't see how people ever find time to do these sort of "change my life for better things." they seem so idealistic anyway. I mean, come on, everyone knows that.......
