  2. Yes, indeed! Sometimes the sullenness makes me turn from them, and I know that sounds awful on my part. Have a great week, Nancy!

    1. I understand, Patty. I once met someone who was so bitter and sullen about no one wanting to be around her that no one wanted to be around her. Very self-perpetuating.

      Hope you have a great week too!
