Ranting
When is enough - enough. How do you know when God is telling you this isn't healthy and turn the other cheek? There is no good answer in this situation. How much of a person's personality is within their control? Some of it all of it, is it molded by their environment? I have met people that have been in horrible places in their life and had the best personality, the best smile, the best outlook - then you have the people that yeah its not been great but its been hard, but good. And they can't smile or do something nice to save their life. You know those people - the one's that spew negativity. Its so hard to be around them.

TOTALLY!!! Negativity is draining to be around. I don't know how much is enough...it's harder when it's family. Sometimes, I have found, especially recently, that my own attitude can help. Like, if I preempt a conversation with a bubbly statement, it seems to set the tone. I might start off talking about something happy in my life so I can avoid their complaining. A preemptive attack!! Doesn't always work....but sometimes is better than nothing. Your smile is powerful, Girl!
