The Power of “Positude”

The end of Summer, Autumn is coming with warm days and cool nights.

Our world is in crisis, but the believers of Positude have a Peacefultude.

Is the glass of “Life” half full or half empty?

Could it be bone dry and, if so, with what shall we fill it again?

Those that have a Hopefultude know that the glass of “Life “ will be refilled. So, we have a Celebratetude, and we refuse to complain.

We put our end of Summer plans into action.

Autumn in a multi seasonal climate is a big deal.

We get the jackets and sweaters out. August is a transition month in Michigan. The end of Summer and the beginning of Autumn causes us to stop and question our existence.

Is my life meaningful as I interact with family and friends? Do they receive what I have to offer with gratitude?

We need each other to survive and thrive.

Positude helps us to choose words that build one another up.

Agape is unconditional love, it is perfect and always seeks the best for the beloved. I hope that Positude makes your August transition a smooth one.

Always Agape,
Sylvia
