Is there anyone in your life who just saps your soul? Wipes you out with their negativity and meaness? Sadly I have 2 of these. Both relatives, huh, isn’t that usually the case? Unfortunatley I can’t get away from them no matter how many times I wish I can put them on an iceberg and push them away out to the cold artic sea, just like in the old Eskimo tales. It’s probably illegal anyway. *sigh*
So what do you do to avoid the dark clouds that come in the form of people?
