Of course, my mother also told me that if I don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. I have never figured out how to resolve these two seemingly contradictory pieces of advice. But, in the mean time, I'll just stick to the bitching and moaning. Most of my rants aren't ready for prime-time viewing, although a few have been posted on this site. This is not to say that I am an angry, bitter person, although I have spent most of my life being one.
Life is complicated sometimes.
But, even though I've found at least one trick to help me let go of things that make me angry, it doesn't mean that I've forgotten how to bitch and moan about things. After all, skills aren't something that should be thrown away lightly.
