Daily Whine & Shine - Friday, March 19 AND Weekend Chew & Stew - Saturday, March 20 & Sunday, March 21, 2009

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 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 it here!

 

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

 

What's happening in your world today?  Are you grumpy about something?  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.  Pull up a rocking chair, and let's talk about it.

 

Now, let's celebrate!!!
