Attitude is contagious. We are either spreading or catching positive or negative attitudes. Are you influencing or being influenced? Are you positive or negative?

So many people just go with the flow but we can be atmosphere changers. We don’t have to catch someone’s bad attitude. Instead, we can change the direction and steer others into an optimistic mood.

Sometimes negative attitudes naturally occur when someone is struggling through something. Encourage them. Impact their world. Help them see life from a different perspective.

I chose this pic – for my blog on attitude – a few days before Tiki suddenly died. Death – whether a loved one or a pet – is a difficult loss to cope with. The demons of “what if”, “if only”, and “I wish” can rob us of peace and precious memories.

Grief can hold us in a state of pain. Although no one can fix grief, we can come alongside others as they navigate these troubled waters. I would like to end this blog by saying, “My prayers are with you Jeff and Amanda as you grieve the loss of a very good friend”.
