We’ve all experienced it.  The friend who has more complaints than compliments.  The relative who calls only when disaster strikes.  The co-worker whose car breaks down everyday.  How do we respond to those who bring a constant stream of negatives into our lives?  We suggest the best way is to cultivate an attitude of positive expectation, compassion and love.  No action is necesary, just listening with an open heart and an even more open mind.
