If You Can't Say Something Nice....

....say nothing at all.

How often have we heard that cliche? Well, it started playing through my head over and over again this afternoon as I was driving home from work.

Actually, it started earlier when I was chatting with a friend and discussing how much I really don't like my job, my company, my life at the moment. We were also discussing a mutual acquaintance who also was complaining about jobs and life in general. Basically, we were all just whining about our lot in life when she stated "if you aren't happy with your situation, then it is up to you to make it better." I totally agree with that.

Sadly, I'm having a little trouble making mine better. I have great plans and a couple of pots are simmering, so to speak, but nothing major is changing yet and I'm just a smidge discouraged. I know it all takes time, but I've joined the instant gratification world and I just want the new stuff to start happening NOW.

Okay, enough of the whining and moping around. From this day forward (at least for awhile), I'm going to make a concerted effort to not say anything, unless I have something nice and positive to say.

Gee, is my life going to be quiet.....
