Worker or Whiner

 As those who really know me will tell you, I am full of theories and useless quotes. I have quotes and rules and theories about most everything. Now, many have proven themselves to be less than correct but they are mine, and like the blue jeans I still wear from high school, I don't let go of things that I truly believe.

Also, as I have mentioned before, we have family laws - fifteen (15) laws that we try not to break and to liver our lives by. And, number 11 simply states, "Whining will NOT be tolerated." Whining for whining's sake has never accomplished anything other than to gratingly get under other people's skin.

Today's word is a quote from Teddy Roosevelt that says, "Complaining about a problem without posing a solution is called whining."

We have discussed before that, sometimes, life just sucks. We can be doing all we can, trying the best we can, behaving in our best way, and things will still go wrong. Why? Because, we live in a broken and fallen world, and, sometimes, good things happen to not so good people, and, unfortunately, just as often, bad things happen to really good people. However, wallowing in it and whining about it accomplishes nothing.

So, I want to work harder at finding the solution(s). I want to be someone that is trying to make things better and not just complaining about how things are. I want to be someone that understands that life just sucks sometimes. I want to be a worker, not a whiner. Pray for me that I can be.

Be Blessed,
