Sophia is gorgeous! I also admire your continuation in the 'no complaining challenge'. I would love for that challenge to be enforced worldwide -- for even one day.

Years ago, I just celebrated my birthday, then I started a birthday week where I would take time for a massage one day, a mani/pedi the next and a day of quiet reading time. Now I'm thinking I need to enjoy a birthday month!

I...I love the idea of not complaining for 30 days. I'm too hard on myself though, and I know I would misbehave in that long of a stretch. But my husband and I do take an active role in practicing positive speech from time to time when it seems the complaining is overrunning our conversations. It really helps us, our attitudes, and our marriage. And one week about once a month is an easier commitment than an entire 30 days. ;) My ADD won't hold attention to remember that long anyway haha!JessJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13837505378858583471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-72100857407393762982017-10-30T23:28:06.996+08:002017-10-30T23:28:06.996+08:00You are one of the most likable bloggers I read.
