I Think I Can, I Think I Can

"Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain."
-Lily Tomlin

I am embarking on a new adventure. Wait. Let me start that again. I am planning to embark on a new adventure. Sometime soon. Really.
Let me explain. One day while "surfing the net" I came across a website that talked about creating a world free from bitching and moaning. That isn't exactly how they put it, but you get the drift. The premise is to wear a bracelet similar to the Live Strong bracelets made popular by Lance Armstrong. Every time you complain about something you move the bracelet from one arm to the other. The goal is to complete 21 days with the bracelet on the same arm, thus creating a habit of not complaining. Originally I thought this would be a great exercise to present to my Yoga class at SLCC. Then Dan asked me if I was going to participate with them. Can I just say that I can't believe he even asked me that? Husbands are supposed to pretend their wives never complain. I am sure he just wanted me to appear to participate so my class would see me as flawed.
Anywho.... I have decided to set about this goal when my classes start at SLCC which is June 4th. In the meantime though, I am becoming more aware of how much I complain. From family to in-laws, money to time-constraints, etc., etc., etc. There is a lot of complaining going on here. And, as much as I hate to admit it, it is mostly from me. Dan and I were joking that I might have Indian burn when this whole thing is over.
I have to be honest though. I'm a little nervous. What if it takes me 5 years to be complaint free? What if it is 10 years? What if I die and they have to change the position of my complaint bracelet right there in my coffin?
So I invite you to embark upon this enterprise with me. Oh, and wish me luck. I'm gonna' need it.
