Complaints, gripes, grumblings, and annoyances- are people whining more because it is so easy to express themselves via social media and technology? If we take a step back to examine these comments, they often seem petty and banal. There certainly are those who have reasons to be down, but frequently these individuals remain silent. I learned today of a student whose mother is battling ALS or Lou Gehrig disease. I am sure that his feelings of anger and worry warrant venting from time to time. Instead, he has formed a team with one of his teachers to participate in the Walk of Hope to raise money to fund research into those illnesses such as Parkinson's,Alzheimer's, and ALS. These neurodegenerative disorders affect many, and will undoubtedly touch someone in your network of friends. I made a donation to this student's team. Please check out
