What I learned about myself in week 1

I am a complainer.

In the first chapter Linda Dillow tells about a woman named Ella who was a missonary with her husband to the pygmies in Africa for 52 years. Her daughter Mimi wondered how her mother had lived such a life of contentment given the circumstances. When Mimi found an old diary of her mother's she found a prescription for contentment in it.

The main thought of one of the 5 staements that made up Ella's prescription for contentment is to never allow yourself to complain about anything.

This is my current goal
