My grandmother was a survivor of the great depression, living in the Oklahoma dust bowl with 8 siblings. She died at age 99, very deaf but still in possession of all her wits. One of the last times I spent with her, I asked how she was doing. She answered “Can't complain, wouldn't do any good,” and honestly, it has been the best advice. Complaining isn't helpful. It just keeps your focus on what is negative or lacking. Don't deny bad feelings, but don't dwell either. And keep your sense of humor! Thanks, Grandma B!
