Social theme: No complaints for 30 days!
Now this was a challenge. The concept comes from Maya Angelou who encourages us to be more positive and affect the world by this "simple act". The task is not to complain about those trivial things we tend to focus on such: as that guy driving in front of us, the teller at the store, or a work colleague, or a family member that behaves differently from us. I strived this month to be less critical of myself and others and to be more patient.
I was challenged with this one. Not that I have a lot to complain about-I love what I do for a living, my marriage is great, I am fortunate to have good friends and neighbours. But I do tend to be frustrated when things don't go as I planned. Did I make it through the month without a slip up? No. But it did slow down my habit of having fits of frustration over small things in my day.

I will endeavour to continue this habit. It is very powerful and has made me look at how I view others and myself differently.
I recommend this challenge to all of you.

I have no picture for this challenge, so here is Tiki with his buddy Miki- Miki never complains about the indignities...
