The Gripe Challenge

I've just read something that I found rather astounding. In the Dec./Jan issue of homemakers magazine, there's an article titled, "The Gift of Gratitude." Here's what amazed me:

Over the past 34 years, Hal Urban, an American author, speaker and high school teacher, has challenged 200,000 people to go 24 hours without griping, even to themselves. Only seven have ever pulled it off.

Seven? Can it really be that difficult to go 24 hours without complaining? I don't think I'm much of a complainer, so I'm going to test it. I'm going to try and be aware of what I'm saying and doing for the next 24 hours, to see if I can go that long without a gripe.
