The Power of “Positude”

Summertime.

Winter and Spring have come and gone.

Vacations entice us to get away from the rush and riot.

Kick back, sit back and rest awhile. Ease your mind, soak up the beauty of life.

I know that there are trouble and turmoil, but there is also peace and joy.

There is work but there is also rest.

Every day I ask what I can do to make life better for my community. I put my mind and my mouth in agreement with Positude.

I have a Thankfultude that keeps me focused on the bright side of life.

There is doom and gloom, but I refuse to let them consume me.

The sun will come out after the storm.

I have Gratitude that things are as well as they are.

Hopefultude that trouble is not permanent.

Joyfultude that life is good.

Be well my beloved friends.

Always Agape,
Sylvia
