The Power of “Positude”

February, the shortest month of the year is also one of the busiest.

We remember Black History and Valentine’s Day.

We reflect on the contributions of African Americans.

We celebrate love on Valentine’s Day. The days are a little bit longer, and the hope of springtime is in the air.

The year is off and running, time is not waiting for us.

Positude frees us to think and act with a positive attitude.

The days flow one to another swiftly, children grow, time passes and seasons change.

We don’t have to rush things, we can barely keep up. The only people that are oblivious to the passage of time are the very young and the mentally unstable.

They are part of the rush and riot, but not impacted by it.

Love cannot look upon a need with indifference.

Love must act to meet the need at any cost.

May all your needs be met by love sufficiently.

May all your positive hopes and dreams come true.

Always Agape,
Sylvia
