Have enjoyed a quiet thoughtful weekend. Wondering what would people be thinking about if they weren't angry, critical, worried, or afraid--seems to occupy so much time and energy that could be directed elsewhere--like "who do I want to be when I grow up and stop bitching about the president, the republicans/democrats, the economy......" In my consulting groups, no one gets to complain unless they have 3 solutions to fix the complaint. I think I'll make that my new New Year's resolution--no complaints without at least 3 possible solutions with action steps--this includes complaints about myself!
