When you make a conscious decision not to complain, isn't it amazing how much more you notice it around you? And I think what you're saying is evidence that sometimes negative attitudes become fashionable. These women may not even feel that way, but they join in the conversation because that seems like the thing to do. And thanks for the encouragement! Thanks for your input on this, Yvonne.

The latest one for me? Lots of women around me that put down husbands or males as a entire group. It's not just from the SA organization, but from casual contacts with customers and other casual acquaintances. It's almost as though women my age, having had a husband spend his life supporting them, view him a worthless now that he's "under their feet," an interesting common phrase. Love your new blog....

I think I would in the same situation. You stay intact as a family just because you have made up your mind to be positive and not let yourself "binge" on self-pity.

Worry? Tired of waiting for "something" to happen? I even tried to adopt the "if it is to be, it's up to me" attitude, but then I didn't follow thru. I'm really not sure I just know the Junk Food attitudes are there...perhaps hidden in my heart somewhere! I think my list is different than yours, I’m just not able to say/admit what they are. Worry?
