November 19, 2018, Prescott-
Mondays begin my work week. Contrary to many, I find Mondays invigorating and encouraging. Each new beginning in my life is cause for celebration, whether a sunrise, a new week, month or year. Each birthday allows me to celebrate what has happened in the year gone by, and to anticipate what lies in the year ahead.
Every new food is a joy. That is, after all, I fell in love with full-bellied fried clams, green vegetables, omelets and green smoothies, at various points in my life.
Being in a new place is most often a joy. There is always something that connects me to the familiar and something that broadens my life. Having now set foot on five continents, (Africa and Antarctica are in my intermediate future), I am glad to say there is nowhere that I felt unsafe.
Here’s to many more phoenixes!

Of course, but most don’t see it so positively. It seems to me that positivity is a key to happiness and success.

Every morning’s shower is a washing away of the past and a clean slate for the day. At least for me. Glad you are looking at the bright side!

A positive response, even to negativity, is the key to a well-lived life, just as a shower is key to cleanliness.
