                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
    Supporting the goals and ideals of ``Complaint Free Wednesday''.

Whereas the average person complains approximately 15 to 30 times per day, 
        resulting in roughly 4,500,000,000 complaints spoken every day in the 
        United States;
Whereas complaining keeps people focused on current problems stultifying their 
        innate abilities to seek and create positive, harmonious solutions;
Whereas complaining has been shown by research psychologists to be detrimental 
        to a person's physical and emotional health, relationships, and to limit 
        their career success;
Whereas the ``A Complaint Free World'' organization is to be recognized for its 
        efforts to encourage people to redirect their minds toward more 
        positive, constructive, and rewarding lives and for its goal to 
        positively inspire at least 1 percent of the global population (60 
        million people) to become complaint free;
Whereas thousands of people across the United States, including many students, 
        have already adopted the complaint free attitude; and
Whereas ``Complaint Free Wednesday'' will be observed on the day before 
        Thanksgiving, providing each person in the United States a day free from 
        complaining in order to prepare for a day of gratitude: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of Complaint Free 
        Wednesday;
            (2) encourages each person in the United States to remember 
        that having a positive life begins with having a positive 
        attitude; and
            (3) recognizes and reaffirms the meaning of Thanksgiving by 
        asking each person in the United States to use ``Complaint Free 
        Wednesday'' to refrain from complaining and prepare for a day 
        of gratitude.
