Day 72

Day 72: Real Time
Day 16: 21 Day Complaint Free Journey



Yesterday I was thinking back over the 72 days I’ve been at this, trying to remember exactly what was going on in my life in late May. The level of stress and just plain sadness was overwhelming, which might lead one to ask, “What were you thinking? Why start such a difficult experiment in the midst of all of that??”

Good question, on the face of it.

Unbidden, however, the next thought was, “What better time?”

Things have calmed to some degree in my life, but I also understand that difficulties are part of the deal. We get ourselves into lots of trouble when we expect life to be easy and happy and unburdened.

I have a postcard on my refrigerator, a quote from Mother Theresa: “God will never give us more than we can handle. I just wish He didn’t trust me so much.”

What a woman.

I’m on the home stretch….Day 16!
