Exhausted by Negativity

I'm not sure when it happened but I find myself out of patience with negativity. I can no longer pretend that hearing such thoughts and opinions in excess has no bearing on my well being or on my world view.

Having said that, I am not some wide-eyed optimist. I like to vent. It might be my imagination of course but it just seems the balance is off. More bad chat than good. I feel like all the energy of the negative has taken up residence in my colon. Upper and lower.

I propose a brief experiment. Not scientific but so what. Let's start small. Can we go 24 hours without complaining? Not about the weather. Not about the state of the world. Not about our jobs. Or lack thereof. Not about our neighbors. Or our families. Prices. Our loss of radiant skin.

I'll give it a whirl and report back. If you try, spill the beans on the experience.
