Wishing for a complaint-free lifestyle!

Sep 15, 2008 19:02

Yesterday in church, our minister handed out bracelets from A Compaint Free World.org, and the idea is to wear it on one wrist for 21 consecutive days until a complaint-free habit is established. If we find ourselves complaining, we're supposed to switch the bracelet to the other wrist :P

It reminds me of something I read in In The Flow of Life by ( Read more... )

I thought about how human beings are the *ONLY* species intelligent enough to give up. Every other living thing has a survival instinct, and isn't equipped to complain when things are difficult (except for cats maybe :P).

I lol'd so hard at the cats comment XD

Also, major congrats on your successful run! *throws confetti* ...I'm way too hyper 0.o

6 miles?! That's awesome. You rock. I'm so proud of you. Keep it up.

And Casey, you are doing so well with all of this. I know it's got to be trying but find us if you need anything. And like I said before, I was in College Station for 9 years. It can suck but there are some cool things there. Let me know if you need any advice on things to do or places to go. It was great seeing you last weekend. :)

LOL Yeah I'm still O_o that I pulled it off! But I remind myself (especially on days like today when I just can't get moving!) that I can take it one mile, one landmark, one step at a time, and if I feel I can keep going, just keep going a little further. That and I constantly pray when I run - I'm not alone out there :)

Casey's a rock star and I know things will perk up for her. That woman is a true survivor!

::BIG HUGS::

Sometimes ya just gotta let it out! With everything you've got going on and all the hell you've been through to get there, you have every right to feel the way you do, and I'm sending love to you and appreciate your constant, positive energy! I pray that things clear up soon and that you're back to Galveston and reunited with you roommates and your choice school ♥

But thanks for reminding me that "this too shall pass." It's one of the things that my dad always used to say to me. :)And you know he's immensely proud of you for how strong you are and how well you've handled everything. Casey, you're so full of light, so composed and such a joy to be around, and you carry his love with you in your heart and share it with everyone you come into contact with. You're an immense and remarkable woman and he's looking on you happily and full of pride ( ... )

Dude, you are amazing! I am constantly amazed by your ability that when things are hard in your life, you still always have a good word for the folks around you.

Love ya!
