Daily Whine & Shine - June 23, 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.
So, are you ready to rant about something? This is the place to tell all.
It's also the place to tell all about the happy events in your life.
What's happening in your world today? Are you grumpy about something? Or so angry that you could spit? Tell it here. Here at the Daily Whine & Shine, it's acceptable to rant, vent, complain, stomp your feet, throw a tantrum and shout, "Oh shuckie darn!"
Wait! Don't go away. Do you have some good news to share? Great. This is the place for that as well. If you're celebrating, dancing, and yelling, "Yippee skippy!" please share. Sometimes knowing about someone else's happiness gives us a bit of hope for ourselves.
Whether you're shouting, "Oh shuckie darn!" or yelling, "Yippee skippy!" - this is the place to be.
Let's celebrate!!!
Today is National Pink Day, Take Your Dog to Work Day, and Let It Go Day
Tomorrow is Swim a Lap Day, Museum Comes to Life Day and Celebration of the Senses Day
June 25 is Log Cabin Day and National Catfish Day
June 26 is Hand Shake Day, National Chocolate Pudding Day, Beautician's Day and Forgiveness Day
June 27 is National Columnists Day and Sunglasses Day and Decide to Be Married Day
June 28 is Insurance Awareness Day (huh?) and Great American Backyard Campout (okay...everyone sleep in your backyard tonight!). It's also Marble Day. Hmmm.
June 29 is Camera Day and Waffle Iron Day and Special Recognition for the Disabled Day
June 30 is Meteor Day and Please Take My Children To Work Day (stay-at-home mom talking to dad, maybe?)
Food for thought:
Hope is some extraordinary spiritual grace that God gives us to control our fears, not to oust them. ~ Vincent McNabb
When the world says, "Give up,"
Hope whispers, "Try it one more time." ~ Author UnknownHope is that thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops... at all. ~ Emily Dickinson

The rest of the week is supposed to be rainy, so I hope this is the good luck day.
Hope you are feeling much better Marilyn.
Juley, I think I would go back to bed and cover my head with the blankets, you poor dear.
Whine - I have to give a business presentation today, my first ever, and I don't feel ready for it at all.
Shine - My boyfriend has been out of town and he comes back today!!
good news: there's a mother deer with her twin fawns in our backyard.
