Longest Winter Ever!

Okay, I'm not a meteorologist but I'm going on record by saying that this is officially the longest winter ever. I woke up this morning to snow. And not like a skiff...a definite dusting. It's even starting to stick to the roads...I love winter and I love living in Alberta so yes, winter is to be expected but I love the changing of the seasons and I'm completely ready for spring! I even had my sandals on yesterday...looks like socks and real shoes again!

This is not a complaint - rather, a statement of facts!

A Complaint Free World

Seems to me that I've been doing a lot of complaining this week. I'm hoping that by getting my thoughts out on this blog I won't be quite as inclined to vent to everyone I see in my day. I truly believe that your actions move to support your thoughts and if you're consistently thinking of the negative things in your life, your energies and actions will support those negative thoughts.

Of course, if that is true, then the reverse must be true as well. If you think positively, your energies and actions will support the positive thoughts. But, I'm nowhere near perfect so I do more than my fair share of complaining!

I briefly caught a bit of Oprah the other day and she had a minister from the States on who has started a movement called "A Complaint Free World". The premise is to challenge yourself to go 21 days without complaining in order bring focus to the positive things in your life. His church is offering free rubber bracelets to anyone who wants them. Right now I don't think I'll be able to go 21 days without complaining but I figure I could start with 21 minutes! Visit acomplaintfreeworld.org for more information.
