Never complain.

Let's try it.

My grandmother, Nana, Madeleine Francoise Amirault (d'Eon), passed away this weekend at 4:15am, Saturday, October 10, 2020 in The Meadows Home for Special Care in Yarmouth.

She was 102 years old.

I am still processing it. Made a most short post on Facebook about it.

One of the things that stands out about her is that she never complained.

She never complained!

How amazing is that?

In a world filled with complaining and entitlement, it is a rare thing.

Let's try it.

I have challenged myself to not complain, the idea to do it for 21 days or a month, but I have never succeeded!

I am putting this here to respect my grandmother as well as inspire myself by her.

That is all.
