I am very lucky. I have an apartment with lots of light to grow my plants. I live just blocks from my doctors. I have enough food to eat and this week I am eating it regularly. I have had work and will have more work. I have been making art again and am constantly amazed at how much I like what I produce. I am going to do NaNoWriMo. I read The Girl

what is the goal of this complaining challenge? what is it supposed to bring into your life? I don't understand the purpose.

[littlebeast]

I think the purpose is to notice how much you complain and to find other ways to express or to find other things to say. If you complain you must start again. It is only what you say/do aloud/actively. I think it is partly to see how long you can go without complaining and how much complaining you do. I think it is supposed to bring insight and also a seed change toward new things, be it not complaining so much, realizing you are in a place in life that needs change, realizing that there is too much negativity around you that you are encouraged to participate it. I have seen this same friend who issued the challenge do this sort of challenge before and from seeing her do it it has opened my eyes to how much complaining goes on all around me and how this stuff actually does bring me down, though it is also something I do alot. It has influenced my sense of needing to provide myself with a life where there is less to complain about and to try see the things I have complained about differently or do something about them.

that sounds really neat.

I'm always concerned and sorta suspicious when people choose to not use a certain form of communication, I've had really bad experiences around that where it meant I was not able to call shit that wasn't ok, not ok.

But if it's a way to try and learn new and different patterns that serve you better, that sounds AWESOME!

It rained today.
Kitton was outside in it and seemed to enjoy it.
I am doing laundry and eating cheese sandwich.
Mr. Lance is visiting a friend for a little.
Then tomorrow my friend will visit for dinner.
It's pretty damn good, I'd say.

Oh yay for kitton. I am so happy she is back with you and that she can go outside. She sounds so happy. So do you. I am really glad you found a loved one and home and work you like.

I just finished reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and loved it. I then watched the film, which was good, but not as good as the book. Looking forward to reading the next two

I decided not to see the movies until I finished the books. I was worried that if I saw the movies I would always see those actors as the characters in the next books instead of the ways I saw them in my imagination.

I already howl and yelp when in pain. I don't exactly complain, but sometimes I feel guilty if someone is around when I am in pain and I can't control my sounds and actions. It is a holdover from when I had really regular all night ear infections and my ears would bleed from flying with colds. My mom would be exhausted and have to go to work the next day and would tell me crying didn't make it feel better because she really needed sleep. So I would try to be quiet and whimper until it was too much to hold in so she could sleep. Now, I just thank god I can usually find ways to make pain stop sooner or have gotten more tolerant of it.
