The Uncomplaint




Today I have decided to try something new. I don't know what it is lately, maybe its the fact that we are in the middle of an official heat wave, or maybe it is just so tiring this summer everyone is annoyed, but lately I have noticed the negativity so think in the air you could probably cut it with a knife. And it seems to be contagious too, it spreads like wildfire, someone says or does something negative the next person starts and it goes on, and on , and on..... Anyways Today i have decided to try something new. instead of complaining, I am going to basically do the opposite and count my blessings, or as I like to call it, uncomplain.

COMPLAINT:

we are in the middle of a heat wave, and my house has no air conditioning..... >:(

UNCOMPLAINT:

hey at least it isnt a drought
you can walk to the beach every single day!
abundance of ice and water!
an excuse to not excursive, (health advisers says anyone without AC should not excursive)
excuse to eat more popsicles , :)
get to drink more cold water, yay
Oh and eat a ton of watermelon because you lose so much sodium in this heat!
excuse to be lazy.


COMPLAINT

I am stuck being in charge of two library events!!!!

UNCOMPLAINT

hey if I pull them off, it gives me bonus points with my future employers,
i get to meet more people this way,
it really is fun,
right after i go to the Dominican republic
excuse to paint more.
gives me something to do, and I work well under pressure.


so ya, you get the point these are basically my two major er... "uncomplaints" right now, and I am determined to look at tings more positively. Thanks for reading!
