reducing tension in our communication

Seems to be a lot of complaining going on around me lately. I've been trying to "hog tie" and control so many things that I either don't have control over or have very little influence over. So I am working on reducing my complaining and letting go of too many things I have been holding on to.

Been hearing some similar levels of communication around the church and among other folks. I am reminded by these situations to pay attention to try to use non-violent language. Giraffe Language Compassionate Communication Center for Non-Violent Communication
