Attitude=Weekword by John

Go on now go walk out the door
don't turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive


In my head this morning with the start of a new week and getting ready for the new school year. What I love about attitude is that I have got tons of it. Really. In fact, I imagine it's one of the rare things I've never felt a lack of in my life, even when I was depressed or sad, lost and feeling unwanted, I've always had attitude.

 In this instance I'm not talking about the attitude that for me is equivalent to perspective; that a positive mental environment and way I interpret information from the external world is based on the attitude I choose to engender and nurture in my own mind.

 Nope, I mean intrinsic, guttural, pit of your stomach serious tude that is unshakable no matter whether I choose to perceive the day as being a "good" one=upbeat, spunky, cheerful. etc. or a "bad" one=morose, conspiratorial, put upon, victimized, smoldering, indignant, etc.

My attitude is probably big enough to leap small buildings in a single bound, and save stranded cats from the branches of a neighbor's tree.

My attitude can fiercely project me into the middle of a crowd and let me belt out a chorus to "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow" if I want to.








My attitude protects and provides shelter for those I love, and blows a swift and turbulent gale on those who would cause them harm. My attitude is totally unstoppable even if I am not.

I am a procrastinator, lazy, petulant, judgmental, stubborn, overbearing, insistent, spoiled thing all too often, but my attitude tells me I'm okay in spite of these flaws. She's my biggest cheerleader (even more so than my husband and that is saying A LOT), and I'm so thankful she's mine :)

Please go say hello to John and do share what your tude has done for you lately :) Cheers!
