Would You Like Cheese With That Whine?

I've been working on my whining this week and I have to say that it's been hard. The biggest question that has popped up as a result of my vigilance has been, "When does explaining turn into whining?"

I do explain like nobodies business. With details. It's like I need to correctly articulate EXACTLY what is in my brain so that everyone will understand why I did what I did.

Why? Why do #1) I think you care? And #2) what difference does it make?

It has really made conversation grind to a halt. Even my co-workers have noticed it. Now isn't that sad? I have been praying that God would help me weed out the complaining speech and this week has certainly been enlightening. Oh! Wait! I have one more question.....

Does being snarky count as complaining. (wink)
