Toxic People and Chocolate

Hey froggers (friends and bloggers) I think I figured out how to let anyone post a comment. I saved it to settings so give it a try if you have anything to say. You are human, pretty sure you do.

Anyway, remove toxic people from your life. That's my big thought on the day. I have so many beautiful, thoughtful, encouraging, fun and enthusiastic people in my life. One gave me free hockey tickets today and another is going out of her way to make a right on a purchase I made from her line of jewelry that just didn't hold up. I didn't expect any of these things, but just because I choose to hang with the right people, good stuff happens. Now listen I know crap happens everyday, and I've been very fortunate not to have a lot of that lately, but when I do these same people are there for me to lift me up and cheer me on. Take a look at your life and identify those that make your life difficult. Be reasonable, you can't get rid of your toddler if you have one, he/she will eventually get out of that stage and quit making your life so challenging. The ones I'm talking about are the friends, co-workers, family members, church members, board members etc. that keep you down and suck all the happy out of you. The ones that when their number shows up on your phone you hit "ignore" and hope they go away. The ones you avoid at the grocery store when you realize they are in the same isle you wish to go down. If you have any of those people in your life, remove them. Now I know that is tough especially when they are family, but blood doesn't mean friendship. Working with them doesn't mean you have to let them invade your brain space. Punch the clock, go home and leave them there! If confrontation is necessary, let them know you are making healthier choices for the people you to choose to surround you and you would like to not have to work so hard at making a relationship work. Believe me, you and probably even that person will have a better life. You could be driving them crazy too!
Chocolate......eat it, especially dark chocolate. It's Never Too Late to enjoy chocolate!
