The Power of “Positude”

Summertime will soon be here,

Covid 19 has taken its toll we are weary and wary.

Life on the edge is exhausting, but we are not without hope.

We press on regardless of obstacles and daunting tasks.

We are resilient we bow, we bend, we stretch, we bounce!

Deep within my soul I laugh when I hear talk of “returning to normal.”

Our Normaltude has been irreversibly altered.

We all have a Pandemictude because everyone of us regardless of age, gender, or ethnicity has been touched by Covid 19.

I would like to encourage a Lifetude that is positive.

It is easy to have a Discouragetude, but there’s a part of us that clings to the notion that there’s more good stuff than bad in the world.

So, keep your Positude up my friend, attitude will make you or break you!

Be well my beloved friends.
Always Agape,

Sylvia
