Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday's. 

Are you tired of complaining?  Or tired of listening to those around you complain?  These “complaints” affect not only our family, friends, coworkers, etc., but our own health and well being as well.  I thought if we would focus on not complaining we could make a change in the lives of those around us.  So I decided that one day a week "Wednesday" would be a "No Complaint" day.  A day that you and I can Make a Difference.  Follow the 7 simple rules below to make Wednesdays the most wonderful of days:

1. Make your first thoughts of the day positive – whether it's hot, cold, raining or snowing remember, don’t complain about it!
2. Complaints about aches and pains are not allowed – so when you bend over to get dressed or simply put your shoes on, don’t complain about it...thank God you have clothes and shoes to put on!
3. I’m here to support you so email me (jeanette@wonderfulwednesdays.com) if you need some help, but remember, don’t complain!
4. This is a full day commitment so make sure your entire waking hours are complaint free (my husband is going to love this – he rarely complains)!
5. If someone complains to you, just listen – don’t engage in negative conversation – point out a positive!
6. The goal of the day is to focus on the positive in everything (a healthy attitude)!
7. My hopes are that you all have a Wonderful Wednesday and that the people you come in contact with might have a better day just because you are in it!!!!

By following the rules above, you and I, one by one, WILL Make a Difference! 

Remember - It's Wonderful Wednesday - No Complaints...Make a Difference!

LET IT REALLY SINK IN....... 


John is the kind of guy you love to hate.   He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say.  When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, 'If I were any better, I would be twins!' 

He was a natural motivator. 

If an employee was having a bad day, John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. 

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked him, 'I don't get it!' 
 
'You can't be a positive person all of the time.  How do you do it?' 
 
He replied, 'Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today.  You can choose to be in a good mood or...you can choose to be in a bad mood 


I choose to be in a good mood.' 

Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can choose to learn from it.  I choose to learn from it. 
 

Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or...I can point out the positive side of life.  I choose the positive side of life.. 
 

'Yeah, right, it's not that easy,' I protested. 
 

'Yes, it is,' he said.  'Life is all about choices.  When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice.  You choose how you react to situations.  You choose how people affect your mood. 
 

You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood.  The bottom line:  It's your choice how you live your life.' 

I reflected on what he said..  Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business.  We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. 
 

Several years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower. 
 

After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. 
 

I saw him about six months after the accident. 
 

When I asked him how he was, he replied, 'If I were any better, I'd be twins...Wanna see my scars?' 
 

I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place. 

'The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter,' he replied.  'Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices:  I could choose to live or....I could choose to die.  I chose to live.' 
  

'Weren't you scared?  Did you lose consciousness?'  I asked. 
 

He continued, '...the paramedics were great. 

They kept telling me I was going to be fine.  But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.  In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'.  I knew I needed to take action.' 
 

'What did you do?' I asked. 

'Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me,' said John.  'She asked if I was allergic to anything 'Yes, I replied.'  The doctors and nursesstopped working as they waited for my reply.  I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity' 

Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live....  Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.' 
 
He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude....I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. 

Attitude, after all, is everything. 

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own.'  Matthew 6:34
