Daily Whine & Shine - Monday, January 19, 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 suffere 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 struggles.  Or if they don't get tired of our "negative energy" we think they do or will. 

 

 

Do you need to rant about something?  Tell us about it. 

Do you have somie celebration or victory you need to share?  This is the place. 

What's happening in your world today?  Are you grumpy about somiething?  Or so angry 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.  Pulll up a rocking chair, and let's talk about it.

Now...let's celebrate!

Food for thought:

We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us. Marcel Proust (1871-1922)

To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe.   Marilyn vos Savant
