Octobers

Our Wednesday wisdom is a reminder that we can find something to be grateful for in almost any situation.  This quote from Anne of Green Gables gives thanks for the whole month of October…just the best.

I’ve seen Facebook posts that say, ‘the only disability is a bad attitude.’  While I wouldn’t go quite that far myself, a bad attitude can certainly be a handicap.  By the same token, a good attitude can give you a daily boost.

Gratitude can be a superpower for sure! Let’s not wait for Thanksgiving to give thanks for all the simple pleasures that surround us.
