Have no fear of perfection -- you'll never reach it.
Salvador Dali
I have been whining a lot lately. I don't think I start out with the intention of whining, it just ends up that way. I'm actually getting good enough at whining that the people I live with have started to complain about it. That must mean I am getting good at it, right?!
It is easy to whine about things when we feel we are not getting what we want. It is probably even easier to whine about things when we actually are not getting the things we want.
I have always lived under the credo that we are probably really lucky that we don't get what we deserve. With that in mind, I guess I shouldn't whine at all when I think about the little trivialities that I don't get.
I walked the last two nights, albeit not for the one hour I had hoped and intended on. The first night was one mile. Last night it was for half an hour. I hurt pretty bad after I was done last night. I think my body is rebelling against me for not treating it so well over the past few months.
I really don't have any clear-cut tips for becoming a great whiner, though. Sorry. I think whining, like doing something positive, comes through practice. I could say practice makes perfect, but the quote above makes it clear that we won't reach perfection, so...
I have decided to try to whine a little less this week, although I have already whined my quota for the week in the last 24 hours, so I am not sure how this is going to work out!
Have a great rest of the day!
Be good to yourselves and to each other. A friend reminded me recently that we all need to build an A.R.K. using ACTS OF RANDOM KINDNESS. Let's get started!
