How are you and how was your day and whatever...

[Catherine]

Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is avoid the people who upset you.

Even on my job, sometimes I have to turn down a client. Some people just get to you and you can't work with them. We send in another staff who isn't bothered by the person. I have taken on clients that other staff couldn't cope with and I have been fine with them.

Let someone else deal with the people from your past. Stick with the good that is happening now.
