I have complained, whined, cried, begged, bargained and denied....for months. Here's news: it saps your strength and it doesn't work. Although it is late in the year for resolutions, I vow to complain no more.
Here's a grab bag of images and quotes from travels more famous than my own to illustrate my point.
“Henceforth I ask not good fortune – I myself am good
fortune,
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need
nothing.
Strong and content, I travel the open road.”
--- Walt Whitman, Song of the Open Road
"Poop, poop!"
--- Kenneth Grahame, Wind in the Willows
Candi- you are on the road of recovery and discovery. Complaining isn't the worse thing you can do - it is real. "The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery, and the only thing you need to recover from is a fractured sense of self."

And honestly, complaining? If you say so! But-- you complain less than anyone we know.
