100 Days....

So I decided to do 100 days of being thankful and 100 days of 'no complaining'. It is currently day 3, and there are two things I've found interesting and amusing thus far. The first is the difficulty in conceptualizing 'complaining'. What constitutes complaining versus 'calling a spade a spade'. I think I will need to consult google and some scholars for that.

The second amusing occurrence is the reaction of those around mi when I told them I was doing the 100 days. Everyone, without an exception, laughed, said it was impossible and didn't think I would last. I found this amusing because it either means I complain so much that going without will be impossible, or that that not complaining is against the human characteristic. I can't be offended if the former is the case, cause lets be honest, that over 50% of why I decided to embark on the challenge (I think I complain a lot in my opinion). But everyone's reaction was a bit unexpected to be honest.

I do realize it will be difficult. More than difficult actually. I initially planned on telling no one (should do a challenge on keeping secrets/sharing information on a need to know basis too....I think I'll add that actually. Though I believe this is harder than the complaining challenge), but I think this is one of those challenges you need accountability for. Knowing that so many people expect mi to not succeed is more reason for mi to want to be successful. Plus in the end, I think it will make mi a better person - more peaceful, more grateful and more optimistic.

But dang a 100 days is going to be hard. God help mi.

Day 3 done, I'd say successfully :)
