Day 20

Day 20: Real Time
Day One: 21 Day Complaint Free Journey


I guess I’m still learning to juggle.

For those of you who have read “A Complaint Free World,” you understand my dilemma. I am approaching the 21 day mark of my journey to become a positive, affirming person instead of the harpy I had begun to hear everywhere I went. (For a while I didn’t know who that horrid person was. Then I realized it was ME, toxic conversation spilling venom onto my corner of the world.)

Will Bowen relates how he teaches people to juggle by making them drop balls over and over before even beginning to show them how to actually manipulate them in the air.

In my quest to refrain from complaining, I’m still dropping balls.

Yesterday, my mother and I visited with a VA volunteer about a program for surviving spouses that is designed to supplement living expenses. My dad died while waiting for the VA to finish HIS paperwork.

The balls dropped several times during and after that conversation.

Today is a new Day One, though!
