Lighten Up

Time to lighten up from the last posting.  Today is Friday before the Labor Day weekend.  There are not too many better times throughout the year than that.  It's near the end of the work day and I will be heading to our lake cabin with my entire family, including my wife, three kids, one son-in-law, two almost kid-in-laws, and a granddaughter.  The weather should be beautiful and all seems well with the world.

You know, I'll bet it would only take a few minutes to find some depressed person to bring me down from my current euphoric feeling.  Why do you suppose that is?  If I were to find one of these depressed people, it's not likely I would be able to lift that person's spirits, but he/she could easily bring me (or anyone) down.  And by a "depressed person" I'm not talking about someone with serious issues that they are struggling with.  I'm talking about the pessimistic whiners who are never happy about anything and seem to be in a perpetual state of gloom.  There are so many of these people, and for some reason they seem to possess some kind of power over the rest of us.  It's kind of a said statement about all of us.

Well, not today.  I'm flying high and I'm not going to be brought down by any of the whiners.  Oh, but what if I do run into one of them?  Could I be strong enough to resist their gloomy ways?  Hmmmm.  There's the door...if I bolt now I can get out of here before a whiner accosts me.  Oh, oh, there's the company whiner coming down the hall now!  Gotta go!
