The Origination of it all!

Awwwright, so yesterday Squirrel and I got into it, meaning we just yakked and talked and talked and talked and decided let's get it down on paper.  We are so tired of feeling what we feel but not allowed to say it. It's kind of therapeutic to actually say it, NOT DO IT but say it and WTF! Why not? Too many times, we are not allowed to say or even feel the way we do.

Meaning if you're depressed, sad, angry, worried or whatever, you have to suppress it. Yeah yeah, someone asks you "how are you?" Now, reallly. Are you going to say for real what you feel? "Wellll, now that you ask, I was feeling like I wanted to commit suicide before you came along two minutes ago. But, for you I will keep to societal norms and say 'Fine, thank you and yourself?' And that's not the truth.

And you're tired of complaining and whining to your best friend, your cousin, your friend, sister -whoever...It is quite embarrassing to ALWAYS have a complaint. My goodness! How selfish can you be? Only to think of yourself, your woes, your problems, your shoes. How dare you complain about your job, your kids, your husband, your bills, your life, you?

So, you trudge along. Keep it within yourself. Don't say a thing. You wear it well  - thank you, Pierre Cardin. But, you don't wear it well. It's gnawing at you, it bothers you, you think it about, you make a feeble attempt to complain, you prefer to not say a thing and then, something else happens adding to it. That sandpile keeps growing and growing.

This is a collaboration between two kind kindred spirits who are not only sincere and kind who may appear to be complaining but quite the opposite. This is Therapy! We are smiling, feeling better as we write about this or that, a thought, a memory, a recollection, WE think others are feeling the same and would like to share with us.

 So, please note our email. nocomplaintshere2010@gmail.com. It's not about complaining - leave that up to us - suggest a topic to follow, or write on, or share an experience and we'll try to do that. Mind you, this is our blog so we might just be consumed about ourselves. Remember, this our therapy and you can join us if you want. Heh. Heh.


 JUST SAY IT!!!!
