Day 85

Day 85: Real Time
Day 4: 21 Day Complaint Free Journey


Progress is being made! Specifically with my Facebook interactions.

For those who haven’t been introduced to this social networking phenomenon, be forewarned! It can be an addiction just like any other that devours our attention for hours when we should really be engaged in more productive tasks. I understand from the snatches of news reports I manage to hear that many employers have had to block the site so their workers are really…..well, working.

Not that I would know anything about that first hand, of course.

As my frequent readers know, I have had a tendency to react quickly to some of the posts that my FB friends offer, my opinions and my fingers flying before I’ve evaluated what I’ve written in terms of my 21 day journey to become complaint free. Not good. That kind of reaction has caused me to go back to Day 1 several times, once after I had made it to 17 positive days.

But yesterday, I found myself typing and then deleting BEFORE I sent the negative or sarcastic comment on its way through cyberspace to be splashed for all to see. I even stopped typing once or twice, realizing what I was about to do. BEFORE I did it.

And that’s huge for me. I often “joke” that I didn’t learn to speak until I was 35 years old and haven’t shut up since. The result has been that I often rattle on with some pretty strong opinions for longer than I should or even in situations that I shouldn’t at all.

And today I even thought out some positive comments to share with my FB friends instead of spilling negativity all over their screens.

Happy Day 4 for me!

Day 77

Day 77: Real Time
Day 1: 21 Day Complaint Free Journey


This will be a short entry today.

Are you ready?

I simply MUST stay off Facebook, and absolutely should NOT share my comments to postings! I type as fast as I think and ,therefore, get myself into trouble expressing “opinions” about what I see on this addictive social networking site.

Or maybe I should just disable my “ENTER” key.

Day 1 again.
