I found a very inspiring quote today it states:
If you dont like something, change it. If you cant change it, change your attitude. Dont complain. - Maya Angelou
I found this to be inspiring for me at this moment in my life. I struggle with alot of attitudes in my life and I am sure so do you. If you have teenagers like I do, you know that is a constant DAILY struggle. If you are married you have to deal with your husband, if you have a babies daddy #1 (ex-husband), if you work and you deal with the public population, the list could go on and on. I mean its bad when you go to get groceries or something and have to deal with the attitude from the usually teenage girl behind the counter that has attitude and seems like she has rolled her eyes so far back into her head while she talks to you that you just want to slap her into reality. I could go on and on, but I am not going to do that.
I am from here on out going to try to change my attitude on situations. I have to come to reality that people are the way they are for a reason and I can not change them so what to do??? I have to change myself and my way of thinking.
I know if you are a women like me, and have thought this before (Why in the heck am I always doing the changing?) I can not answer that question, but have just came to the reality that if I want to improve as a person I am going to just have to suck it up and change MYSELF!
I cant say I wont ever complain anymore, but I am going to do my best to keep it to a minimum. So bare with me while I try to make this change for myself. Wish me luck :)

dammit all to hell! Who am I going to complaing with now????
I have to disagree with you. I don't think you should change on the count of others. We would be changing all the time. It's ok to complain, because if you keep it in you get chest pain. I think we all need to learn to overlook the bad attitudes. I know it's hard especially you have to deal with it at home and then come to work. To me the work attitudes are easier to deal with. I just think hell the are not coming home with me.
