The Power of “Positude”

Autumn days are getting shorter.

Warm sweaters and jackets are welcome.

Fire pits, fireplaces and furnaces give us warmth and heat.

The leaves are a riot of colors and weekend football games draw crowds indoors and outdoors.

I am grateful for Positude.

When I get to the end of my rope I tie a knot and hold on tight.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel and it’s not a train.

If it is a train, then I’ll get off the tracks in a timely fashion.

Positude means that there is always something positive to learn and believe in.

We may not know what the future holds, but we can face it with a positive attitude.

Attitudes of Gratitude and Celebratetude instead of Complaintude. Joyfultude instead of Sorrowtude.

May all of your problems be solved with Positude.

Always Agape,
Sylvia
