Daily Whine & Shine - March 24, 2008

by Marilyn Mackenzie

  

 

Whether you agree with the concept or not, everyone needs to be able to vent from time to time.  That's especially true if you're one of the many who suffer from an invisible illness.  We have whines and rants about pains, medical professionals and prescriptions, just to name a few.  Perhaps our families listen; perhaps they don't.  Even if they do, they get tired of our complaining, even if they claim to understand our constant struggles.  Or if they don't get tired of our "negative energy" we think they do or will.

 

 

Happy Monday!

Here you are at the Daily Whine & Shine.  You're allowed to leave your footprint here.  You can rant and complain and stomp your feet and shout, "Oh shuckie darn!" 

Or you can smile and giggle and give praise reports and yell, "Yippee skippy!"

Or you can do both.  Most of have both good and bad to report.  And that's what the Daily Whine & Shine is all about. 

Food for thought: 

We begin life with the world presenting itself to us as it is. Someone - our parents, teachers, analysts - hypnotizes us to "see" the world and construe it in the "right" way. These others label the world, attach names and give voices to the beings and events in it, so that thereafter, we cannot read the world in any other language or hear it saying other things to us. The task is to break the hypnotic spell, so that we become undeaf, unblind and multilingual, thereby letting the world speak to us in new voices and write all its possible meanings in the new book of our existence. Be careful in your choice of hypnotists.  ~  Sidney Jourard
