The Power of “Positude”

Summer is over and gone, (Well, in a couple of weeks. ed)

September is here and we celebrate.

Michigan is a four season state and Fall in our beloved state is full of promise.

Days can be warm or hot, evenings can be cool or cold. The trees are bright with colors.

The stars shine brightly on cloudless nights.

Positude teaches us the value of a positive attitude.

Relationships can build us up or tear us down. It seems as if the world is spinning out of control.

I am grateful that I’m safe, sound, and secure. For every challenge there is a positive resolution.

I can because I believe I can. I will because I think I will. I do because if I don’t I may miss my chance.

Every day is a Positude test for me to pass, failure is not an option.

We can have a Complaintude or a Celebratetude. Gratitude or Ungratefultude, a Peacetude or a Chaostude.

May Positude bring you the best life possible.

Always Agape,
Sylvia
