Last month I shared this post about saying goodbye to the complaining culture that many of us have become familiar with. I kid you not—it was three days after that post published that I caught myself in an attitude of major discontentment.

I was experiencing some health issues that were absolutely zero fun to deal with, my husband was called into work to handle some unexpected stuff over the weekend (yet again), he spent two half-days home between trainings in the field, and my patience was spent.

I slipped into my old habit of anger and self-pity.
