Day 45: Real Time
Day 9: 21 Day Complaint Free Journey

The presence of 24 hour media coverage has resulted in much of the drama we see around us today, both in the news as well as in our personal lives. We are aware of it, we might get tired of it, but we still pay attention to it, don’t we?

What celebrities are cheating on one another, who is suing whom, what athlete is running over mailboxes in the wee hours of the morning….we sit glued to our televisions or computer screens as the update of the minute is reported.

But what happens when a media outlet tries to buck the trend and report good news? Do we read that in equal intensity as all the drama with negative overtones?

I think you know that answer to that question. We don’t. We just don’t.

As I go through my first complete week of being complaint free, I find that I have less to write about. It just doesn’t seem as interesting when I do well. There aren’t any heart wrenching stories to relate about how I fell off the wagon, so you probably won’t read to the end of my entry when I’ve had a successful day.

Sad, but I do think it’s true.

My life has quieted, and it’s a welcome respite. I hope you come along with me, though, rain or shine.

NEWS FLASH! BREAKING HEADLINES! DAY 9 IS UP TO BAT…STAY TUNED FOR CONTINUOUS CONVERAGE!
