In my daily walk, I run into a lot of people who tend to be down on themselves. You know, the "glass half-full" type? There is a lady at my job who is negative on almost everything. We work in this beautiful environment, with an easygoing boss, which makes it a joy to come in everyday. However, she seems to bring troubles from outside the place which has the effect of poisoning the air around her. The constant negativity seems to spew outward like a torrent of lava, spraying rain on the parade of anyone she comes in contact with.
All except me.
I have no idea how many trips around the Sun I have left and have no intention of letting someone else drag me down. Every time she would see something in a bad way, I always managed to point out the bright side of life. The thought was, that there is always some sliver of goodness in a situation that might be preventing something even worse from happening. This person is now in that period of "wanting to be alone" which is just fine by the rest of us. There are times when people need the space to work things out for themselves.

Cast a calm shadow
Have you ever met people like this? I think the best thing we can do in these situations, is to be a ray of peace and happiness for them when they're ready to see the light. No one can be rushed into this insight, it can only happen when they have the will to accept peace. There are many things to be thankful for and as my Grandmother always said "Count your blessings!" So take a deep breath and picture wonderful things. Have an awesome day everyone!
Thanks for your support!
