Dan has been getting on my case about finally putting some thoughts on this blog. My first thought was I want to start out on a positive note. There are lots of things to complain about right now, especially in Windsor, but I want to avoid being one of those bloggers who does nothing but gripe.
Oh, there will be griping along the way....just not today.
Something that has been on my mind lately is how we treat each other. Why is it we're so quick to yell, throw a gesture, give the evil eye to anyone who makes a mistake? I would like to propose a peace treaty. From today until the end of the year, how about we all make the effort to not complain.
This idea is not new. There are anti-complaining campaigns on around the world and I think we should start our own here and now.
I am making a pledge that I will not gripe about anyone's bad driving habits, bad clothing decisions, bad breath. I will not gripe about the weather, the reruns on t.v., or my favourite gourmet store being out of my favourite brownie mix.
I will, however, call 311 if you don't shovel your sidewalk. I consider this an allowable exception.
Every time I break this pledge, I will put a dollar in a jar and donate all of the money to a charity.
Are you with me? If we can accomplish this through the end of the year, I think 2008 is going to be our best year ever!

We'll all try to be nice and wipe our feet whenever we visit, although I can't speak for everyone. :)
Welcome to blogging!
Does this mean you'll stop giving me "gestures" and complaining about me during the show too!?!?!?!?! ;)
Oh and by the way.....WHOOOHOOOO You're first blog is up! Only took 3 wee.....wait...sorry, no complaining.
Hmm...., the above would seem to suggest a bucket might be in order instead of a jar.
Thank goodness Dan is on vacation or I'd be broke!!
