Yesterday while blog hopping, I came across a blog which made me stop in my tracks. I wanted to curl up in a big comfy chair with my laptop, I do wish it were softer, and read all of the posts that had ever been written by the blogger, Patti Digh. The site is called 37 days and can be reached at: http://www.37days.typepad.com/ Basically the premise is what would you do if you found out you only had 37 days left to live? How would you live your life? I invite you to visit the blog to discover the history behind the idea and to take time to reflect about your own life. I have been doing a great deal of reflecting lately - and it has been a healthy exercise.
Somehow a challenge was started by one of the readers of Patti's blog back in October of 2007. All you have to do is go for 37 days "being complaint-free, criticism-free, whine-free, and gossip-free". I have seen many challenges on blogs but I think this is my favorite one yet. The best part is that every day is a new day. Each day is day one. I can do it. How about joining me? Let me know if you are up to the task - just think about it ~ days full of positive talk, smiles, and laughter! How hard can this be? Let's start...NOW!

Ooh...that is a good one! I think it'll be a while before I "officially" take on any more challenges, but I think I will play along a bit with this one. If nothing else, it will be a good reminder to stay positive during my life's most recent explosion of family drama, and not let my very hurt feelings cause me to lash out at anyone.
BC Crunch ~ Family dynamics can be interesting and stressful, to say the least. This is an interesting challenge but I am determined to give it my best shot. 'Smile~it's today!' ~ Debbie
