The Power of “Positude”

Spring and Summer are fond memories.

Fall, also known as Autumn, is full of delightful traditions for Michiganders.

The colors, tastes, and smells we look forward to in the fall season.

Apples in a riot of colors, varieties galore from sweet to tart.

We return to school and college; we are still being careful and cautious.

The newest contagion, “Monkey Pox,” has arrived in nearly every state in the US. Mass shootings…the madness and the drama are relentless.

Yet the human spirit responds with Hopefultude and Positude is a bright light shining in the darkness.

As I talk with family and friends the recurring theme is Gratitude.

Life is full of challenges, but as difficulties arise Positude reminds us that every dark cloud has a silver lining.

The storms of life rage, but amid the storm we have a Peacefultude.

Every day I have a Celebratetude for the gift of life.

Be well my beloved friends.

Always Agape,
Sylvia
