Do you have people in your life who fall into one of those catagories, drains and fountains.
The fountains are the people who are a joy to be around, they enrich your life and are a pleasure to know. They are life's positive people. You know the ones. Their glass is always half full.
Then there are the drains. They sap you, they suck the life out of you. They are always doom and gloom. It is rare that anything is good. I have one of these in my life. I have to speak to her every day or at least my conscience tells me I have to. You know that niggling little voice that nibbles away at you. This particular person is now 84 years old and lives alone. She is also quite needy. We have known her for 20 something years and promised her late husband we would keep an eye on her. I have just spoken to her and I feel drained, quite literally drained. Everything is wrong, nothing is right. I want to scream at her but try not to. Ocassionally I do snap and bite back and then I feel even more guilty. Now and again Paul will ring her to give me a days break. Isn't it terrible that I feel like this? It makes me quite ashamed of myself actually.
Her glass is always half empty.
Thanks for letting me rant !!!!
