This week I'm practicing:

Repressing all negative comments and complaints.

Being affectionate towards everyone who crosses my path.

Praising other's fine traits.

i'm practicing tying cherry stems with my tongue.

(well, someone had to take blueroamer's place in the cynical or silly humour department, i'm happy to do it!)

but really.. terrific list!

i think i watched rabbi schmooley (sp) on TLC and he said 'stop starring in your own show, its more rewarding to be a supporting character'
that really stuck with me.

i couldn't remember where i'd heard it, but hubby reminded me it was from tv!

You're already practicing not smoking Blue, that's pretty darn good!

I noticed that I pretty much complain constantly, even when I'm trying to repress complaining!

Hi pix, nice ot hear from you, i''m glad that you and the babe are happy and healthy.

BM what sort of sugars are you indulging in?

Diet soda may be able to satisfy this urge.

Lia was right, these practices are impossible. It was a fun experiment though. Screw them though. I'm just gonna be my cantankerous, curmudgeony, old man self.

I am doing better, BR. But ANY kinds of candy or gum. just regular old sweets. I can't stand diet soda. I don't drink soda very often. I am really going to watch it now, my pants are a little snug.
