The Power of “Positude”

I’m so glad that trouble doesn’t always last.

I’m grateful for friends and family that encourage and advise.

Winter is coming. It was a beautiful fall. The trees are almost done shedding their leaves.

I have a Thankfultude every day, but I’m glad we have Thanksgiving as a National Holiday this month.

The gatherings will be warm and festive and most towns will have free meals for the less fortunate.

I was asked to sing at two funerals, one in September and one in October.

A dear friend lost her husband and her father a couple of days apart.

Death is impossible to prepare for. Even when the end is expected, we’re never ready to say goodbye.

So with Gratitude, I celebrate life everyday.

I have a Hopefultude that I can be a positive influence in my community.

Positude helps me to remember that attitude is everything. I am an overcomer, and time is well spent when doing something good.

Always Agape,
Sylvia
