I followed the link from the main site to the 'complaint free' bracelet. and found a site for a church that is dedicated to not complaining.....
Not complaining! but that is what I do! Most of my entrys are in the complaint category!
Not that I like to complain, well you know maybe a little. Just that 'life is ducky' is well boring..and doesn't result in very much helpful advice.
How am I supposed to learn how to save if I never get around to complaining that I don't have enough money? Or learn to cook better if I just go along 'ducky' with my lousy cooking (I bake not cook, though some foods I am good at)
How am I supposed to change if I don't complain?
I can't think of a single change I have made that didn't start with me complaining...I reduced sugar due to too many headahes....I increased whole grains due to too many drops in sugar after 'healthy meals' that had all white stuff.
Complaining may be worthless when no change can occur, but:
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change those things that I can....and the wisdom to know the difference.
I can see the need to not complain or worry about things you cannot change like......ummm......oh I know: the time between lunar eclipses. (boy was that hard to come up with!)
But as to things I can change, I just need some patience figuring out how and waiting for it to work (not to mention persistance to try try again)
now I shall check 'complaint department' for my category..and move on.....
No complaints?

I've known my share of 'professional victims' who live to suffer -- audibly. But that's my complaint.
