Don’t complain about your clutter and disorganization. Do something about it. Clutter and disorganization may also be killing your happiness. Fix it. You can do it.
For our honeymoon, Laura and I went on a 10-day Mediterranean cruise.
On the ship, we made friends with another honeymooning couple from Canada and ended up spending quite a bit of time with them, chatting in the cocktail lounge and going on shore excursions together.
We quickly learned that this couple was not easily pleased. They complained about their room; they complained about the food; they complained about the destinations we were visiting in Italy, Spain and France.
At first, it was fun to join in with the complaining. After all, there were things we didn’t like about the cruise, too. We bonded by grumbling.
But after a few days, we started making excuses not to spend time with them. We had grown tired of their complaining. More importantly, we had grown tired of our complaining. We didn’t want to start our life together in a place of negativity.

Yeah, complaining is also about wallowing in self pity in some ways…we must stop doing that to ourselves!

I can only stand myself so long when I am whining and complaining and then it feels so much better to just get over myself and do something about it.

Me too. Must have a pity party but not too long.

Complaining definitely bonds people but usually for the wrong reasons. Glad you caught yourself quickly and were able to recover!

True. It is easy to get sucked into the negative but so much better to stay positive.
