Day 73: Real Time
Day 17: 21 Day Complaint Free Journey


Complaining is easy.

Getting involved to effect change in areas that irritate, infuriate, and generally cause us angst is much more difficult.

It sounds simple, doesn’t it? And maybe it IS that simple. But I’ve lived a long time in the arena of trying to make a difference.

I think in some areas I HAVE made a difference. However, in others, it seems the same wheel keeps on turnin’ and not much has changed.

We all have a choice, though. We can continue to try to make things better, or we can step back and let younger minds and bodies take over the fight.

But, that choice doesn’t mean we can’t still participate in less strenuous ways, like writing letters, passing our hard-fought knowledge along, and posting blogs.

However, the choice doesn’t give us a free pass to merely complain. The kind of whining that has no real purpose or hope of any possible positive result. (And it gives old people a REALLY bad rap!)

So, the premise stated earlier sounds simple. It’s much less so in practice, as are most worthwhile things on this particular plane of existence.

Day 17.
