Great word, Ash. I see you as such a positive-spirit so I don’t think you’ll have a hard time breaking this tendency.

Thanks for the reminder to build up rather than tear down in our personal and professional trek.

Oh I love this and I feel the same way. With my work world being so negative I am trying not to let that overflow into my weekend life. Thanks for sharing!

This is so good and so true! With all the drama that has surrounded our family this year I have tried hard to be aware of my complaint meter. Thanks for this great reminder to keep looking at it!

I recognize the tendency in myself to be negative and critical of others and I try so hard to not put my thoughts into words…someday I hope to be able to work on the thoughts. But, when I find out someone else is feeling the same way I am I feel justified in my criticalness…that’s when it all spills out. Thanks for this post and the reminder that our negativity is very contagious…maybe I need a face mask.

Yeah, this is a hard thing. Finding the balance between being real and being a downer. We are so easily influenced by those we associate with. I am convinced, now more than ever, that you have to at least have a section of friends who will left you up.
