I've learned to complain, happily.

I complain. But at the same time, I love life. Might seem like a contradiction. But it isn't. Because every day I embrace much of what I like. And at the same time I'm free to complain about what I don't like. Gives my life balance. Fact of the matter is there's far more that I like than I dislike. And I recognize I can't have a world exactly the way I want it. There has to be give and take. Room for compromise. Anyway, when desired change doesn't come, I don't necessarily get angry or frustrated. Because I recognize that some things can't be changed. And I learn acceptance. That's very satisfying. But hey, I can go on happily complaining anyway. --Jim Broede
