Stop whining & just do it...

“It takes a genius to whine appealingly.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald

“Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Love more, and all good things will be yours”
Swedish Proverb

“If you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it.”
Anthony J. D’Angelo

I am going to do it now! No whining at all!

Feeling rather whiney and whingey and need a good rant! It’s a bit dangerous though as I have not been feeling like this for a while and am veering close to the victim mode.

I always just do it and then inside I feel bad! I don’t usually whine.BUT i did feel a bit of a victim and that is not a place that is at all productive!

Anyway what is the difference between whining and what I hear everyone else doing….ie., gossiping and slagging other people off?

How come other people get away with it and it creates bonds and then when I do it I sound like a victim. lol I can hear it! lolol

It’s just not fair.

Anyway I know I just whinged on this stop whining goal but I just don’t give a damm! Someone think me up another more appropriate goal!

eg., gossip alot and be a total b*tch or maybe suck up to management and slag everyone else off?

I whinged a little this morning about feeling sick etc. Now I feel wonderful!

I hope so, but I have to admit I’m nervous… I worked HARD to get where I was before I got sick… I’m a little anxious to see how much strength & endurance I’ve lost in the past few weeks… I can tell I’m weaker & I dread seeing how much… I dread seeing everybody again & having them ask where I’ve been… I dread wearing my gym clothes in front of them & having them judge my backwards progress… It’s silly, I know, since everybody gets sick, but the accident I had several years ago shook my confidence…

I don’t mean this as whining, just an admission that I’m not always as strong as I’d like to appear…

I know my anxiety is just temporary, that positive action is the best cure for my lack of confidence, and that a day or two back in the gym will make everything better… And so, I’m going to do it…

EDIT: Ok, it’s done and was not so bad. Yes I’m fatter than when I left. Yes, I had to step back the inyensity a bit untl I’m feeling better, but nobody thought a thing about that. They were just glad i’m back.

I won’t go into all the details, but by 3:00 p.m. today I was half considering running away from home… I was in the middle of a full-blown fit of self-pity when sis called, crying… Her roommate in the assisted living apartment was throwing a tantrum & sis was VERY upset by it…

I had a half dozen other things to do and had already been feeling overwhelmed, but when sis said, “I can’t take it anymore,” something in me clicked & I knew that everything else could wait… I had to go get her out of there for awhile…

I spent the whole drive there still feeling sorry for myself, but the minute I saw sis everything became about taking care of her… We had an early dinner together & stopped to feed the fish on the way back home… By the time I dropped her off at the apartment, her roommate had calmed down, sis was smiling, and I felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders…

Taking care of her was the best thing I could’ve done for myself…

There were some messy problems resulting from hubby’s recent employment change that I felt he should take on, but he pushed it back on me… I did it, but inside I’m whining…

Time to take a deep breath & dive in….

There was a time when I would have complained about having so many errands to run in one day, especially if (like today) it was raining all day… But today was different because it was my sister’s birthday & all the errands were for a good cause – her happiness!

My friend’s son is getting married & she’s wrangled me into going to the bridal shower… SO not my thing! But she’s a good friend so maybe I can deal for one night…
