gripe - "I am fed up with my children's arguing!"
Hmm . . . I really am, but NOPE! I am grateful for teaching moments when I can learn to help my children learn to communicate feelings of hurt or frustration, and to love someone even when they may not always see things the same way. I am also grateful they have each other with whom they can learn to sincerely apologize and forgive. I love to see my children trying to work things out!

gripe- "I despise my kitchen. It is waaaay too small for my family of eight!
"
NOPE! I am grateful for my kitchen! I have a stove and oven I can cook with instead of having to cook over an open fire. I have a microwave oven for added convenience. I have a running dishwasher of the non-human kind. I have a refrigerator and freezer to preserve food for later consumption. I have running water with which to wash and prepare food, and clean my kitchen. And to show how grateful I am for the kitchen that is sufficient for our needs, I dedicated 120 uninterrupted minutes to cleaning and making it shine from top to bottom. I love my beautiful kitchen!
