We all have them. As a matter of fact, we all ARE one of them.

Drain or Drink

Drain the ever-lovin' life from your marrow

or

provide a drink of exhilarating life.

It is a choice.

We can choose to complain, rain on and drain those around us with our constant, grumbling attitude

or

we can choose to think, drink and not shrink from the calling to shine!
