]]> Comment on Accentuating the Positive & Finding Probable Solutions to the Negative:My Own 21-Day No-Complaint Experiment by Craftpug http://www.wingsideup.com/blog/2009/12/15/accentuating-the-positive-finding-probable-solutions-to-the-negativemy-own-21-day-no-complaint-experiment/comment-page-1/#comment-45 Craftpug Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:53:32 +0000 http://wingsideup.com/blog/?p=622#comment-45 I have to say that I was curious when you first asked me if Samantha had a bracelet that you could use, but didn't really ever consider looking into it for myself. After the holidays were over I had a lot of free time on my hands, in fact to much. I was occupying my time with crochet and knitting projects but still feeling down, I was to say the least a bit depressed. I began to feel sorry for myself. It wasn't untill Sam ended up in the emergency room at the hospital that I began to shake myself out of it. On our way back to the er room the staff was bracing themselves for several trama patients. We of course had to wait quite awhile because they were tending to them. I understood that and didn't complain. As the morning progressed we heard that one child didn't make it. After having to move Sam, because of more critical patients we heard that this same family had an other daughter in the same er. Wow was I thankful that even though I didn't yet know why my child was ill, I wasn't going hearing that kind of news. We left the hospital wondering what had caused this accident. Upon returning home we discovered that the Suv that these kids were in slid on ice into on coming traffic and burst into flame killing the one child, burning another and sending 2 more to the er we were at. I have to say that I really felt grateful that we were home safe and Sam was on the mend. I started thinking more about the red bracelet you had put on your arm. It was about a month after this that I put a bracelet on my arm. We were going to a community service project for 4-H. Sam's leader is a great person, but sometimes can be overbearing with the kids. I knew that I may get irritated and thought that maybe the bracelet on my arm would help me to remember to keep any thoughts to myself. I have to say that it helped but I did have to change arms once while I was there. It makes you take responsibility for what you have said. I have not yet gone a day without switching, I am as you know well a natural pessimist. This is something that I have been trying to change for a long time. I started reading A Complaint Free World this week. You are always saying accentuate the positive, so I am following your lead. I am now on day 2 of my 21 days.

I realize that this isn't exactly the list you were expecting but my point is this......because of my involvement with supermodifieds as we know them today...starting in 1985......I have been extremely lucky in having travelled the US from one end to the other and can now call many people from my involvement "friend". I don't think you can find any more passionate people in racing than those within this family. I am one lucky son-of-a b for this and I wouldn't trade it for a thing. Keep doing what yer doing BG.....just don't let it put you on the street with nothing to show for it. These are in no particular order and I’ll stop at 13 because that’s all the question asked for……but trust me when I tell you…..the list is MUCH bigger than 13.

1) BobbyG
2) Randy Koontz
3) Rebel Jackson Sr
4) Rebel Jackson Jr
5) Bill Birdsell
6) Dave Biswell
7) Larry Trigueiro Jr 8) Calvin Helton
9) Tony Otto
10) Pat Russell
11) Dick Macco
12) Jim Birges
14) Dick O’Brien

The "State of Bobby G" address is the same as the "State of Biggie G" address in essence 2) My pastor always says you speak life and death with your words... and when you think about the Bible, and everytime God spoke, things happened. I'm not saying WE'RE God, BUT, we are created in the IMAGE of God... so it stands to reason that we must be careful and measure our words. 3) I'm not only proud of you Bob, but I am inspired to do the same 1) I totally feel ya on re-evaluating your state of being.
