Whether it be being stuck in traffic, being bothered by the weather, not enough mustard on your sandwich, or whatever it is, there are endless instances where you can find a reason to complain. But it’s not just outside circumstances that we complain about. We complain about about ourselves too. We complain that we don’t have enough time, we don’t have enough money (this one is huge because it’s often “true”), that we’re not smart enough, cool enough, or just enough. I know I’ve experienced plenty of unpleasantness due to complaining about things I can’t control. I never really thought about it much until I found this website bout “living in a complain free world.” Imagine how much happier you would be if you simply stopped complaining? Much of what you complain about is outside of your control anyway. What’s the point of brooding about something you have no power to change? Not very intelligent, if you ask me. Simply becoming conscious of how much you complain is the first step to stopping. When you recognize that you’re complaining, stop and take notice of it. Ask yourself if you would rather complain, or be happy. If you don’t believe me, count how many times you complain about something or other in one day.

As for blue cornflowers, I went and looked them up. How beautiful! Did you see the russian kale in the picture. What a handsome plant. I have a post about it since it grew out of lettuce seeds. Having no idea what it was, I turned to the Green Talk readers. Sure enough, they identified it. This baby is not bitter at all and is just beautiful. Anna Readers-check out Sue’s UK wine blog.

I can see that you have chard growing in your garden with its gorgeous red stems. I grew it last year mixed in with blue cornflowers and it looked great. Tastes good too and it goes on forever!

We have lots and lots of shade from our 3 big oak trees. They've already choked out much of the grass so its to the books for research on what does best in shady, but hot Texas. <em>EcoInsomniac's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Ecoinsomniac/~3/249015623/' rel="nofollow">My Kiva experience</a></em> Another great article I’m currently looking into building a raised bed in my backyard, but our current problem is shade.
