I am thankful today that my office has a door. Some folks like to stop by and chat during the workday. Most of the time it is a great break to visit and catch up with a friendly co-worker. Sometimes though it is simply a negative spewing from someone who is miserable for whatever reason. They consider it "venting" but it really is more about their outlook than anything that is happening at work. I respond in a positive way...looking for the silver lining, glass half full stuff. They don't want to hear it because they enjoy being miserable somehow. Today, I just didn't have the energy for it all, so I was glad to have my door to close. Sometimes you just have to shut out the negative to focus on the good stuff.
Amen, sistah.
