Have you ever been around someone who can take a nice conversation to a new level of depression? Yeah, me too...

We all know one. You tell them you got a promotion. They say: “Congratulations. Of course, now you're probably going to be working a lot more.”

You tell them you're going on vacation. “Oh, nice. Airports are a nightmare right now.”

You tell them your daughter is getting married. “Weddings are expensive. You know half of marriages end in divorce.”

Join Dave for some uplifting ways to live with DEBBIE DOWNERS:

Life brings plenty of bad news without us manufacturing additional inventory.

People lose jobs. Relationships end. Bodies get older. Plans fail.

Don't make every room heavier because you walked into it.

Bring perspective.

Bring humor.

Bring honesty.

Bring solutions.

Bring encouragement.

And when somebody hands you a little piece of happiness...for God's sake...don't hand it back with a warning label.

Don't ignore what's wrong. Just don't become the person who can't see what's right.

Giddyup!!!
