I frequently visit family who live in a community abutting the Mississippi River. When I visit I enjoy going down to the river. I watch eagles dive for fish. I watch barges work their way through the locks, and I stand amazed at the wide expanse of the river. When I’m standing on the River’s edge I wonder what’s on the other side. There’s only one way to find out, I have to cross the river. Fortunately there is a bridge that spans the river. When I drive across the bridge, the other side opens up into all of the western United States. The possibilities are endless. That’s how it is in life. We can stay where we’re comfortable and feel safe or we can cross our metaphoric river and discover endless possibilities.

Positive Thought of the Day ~ Soar with the Eagles
“Optimism doesn’t wait on facts. It deals with prospects. Pessimism is a waste of time.” Norman Cousins
I’ve met and worked with optimists and pessimists. Given a choice, I’ll choose to hang out with optimists 100% of the time. A pessimist will drag you down into the mud. An optimist will teach you to fly. It’s time to fly and to soar with the eagles. Yes, you can!
