And if Andy never complained again, what would I read in the mornings and how would I laugh??

You might want to check out a growing (and HUGE) movement to try to quell complaining because it’s not only futile, it’s also bad for your health.

Here’s some info about it and a shameless link to my blog.

All the best,

(Formerly from England, now in Florida – sunny weather gives me one less thing to complain about!)

When we started advancing children in school who had not done homework or learned anything because it would be "socially traumatizing" to hold them back, when we not only supported multi-generational families on the public dole but ENCOURAGED the subsidizing of their entire lives by making it easy for them because we required nothing in return, when we dropped "accountability" and "consequences" from our vocabularies, when tots were given the ability to sue their parents for disciplining them, when television programs and movies fostered the notion that lippy, arrogant teens were so much more cool than parents and authority…we cultivated an environment where the individual is more important than the group, or any other individual for that matter. What did Spock say in the 2nd Star Trek movie? "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few…or the one"…? Not anymore…MY needs outweigh anyone else’s…and if you don’t like it, you can lump it.

Pity…because once people went out of their way to think of others, to do for others. Consideration, courtesy, kindness…those words are no longer thought about or spoken, I doubt there are even some who know what they are. It’s a sad commentary on our world where we have progressed technologically, we’re healthier, smarter, live longer…but we are NOT better people.
