My Thoughts:
I am so excited about this book. I can't wait to incorporate it into our family as the new year approaches. It was amazing how much I was able to relate to the content of the book as Tricia shared her story. It was kind of like, "Wow, I could be writing this book." It is so easy to fall into an attitude of discontentment without even realizing it, or become a grumbling martyr. I found so much in common with her. 

I am still reading through my copy, because even though I could read through it quickly, I want to take it all in and be prepared to share the message with my family and incorporate it. Seeing the negativity in others is often so easy, but we fail to see it in ourselves. When does stating facts, or truth about a matter or situation turn into actual complaining and negativity and how to do we determine the difference? I know that's something I struggle with personally. In trying not to complain, I end up sounding and feeling more like a martyr and often taking on way more than I should.

Tricia shares her heart and her family's challenge to live a grumble free year more as a story than a self help book with tons of tips and advice.  You'll be challenged as they were to give thanks instead of complain, and when you start paying attention, you may realize you complain way more than you thought you did. 

I am so thankful to be a part of Tricia's launch team. I received a free e-copy of her book. However, I was not required to write a positive review of her book and all opinions are my own.
