Postive Thinking Day

Positive Thinking Day [Sep 13] Fred has a unique way of saying things. Unlike some self-professed inspirational speakers, Fred gives you the goose-bumps when he starts talking on an issue that is close to his heart. With the calendar reminding us that it is September 11, the horrors bubble up in your mind as if they never subsided. Fred is part of a group that is organizing a short prayer service near Ground Zero. He came to me and talked about it. That is when I realized what keeps this man going at his age. He also added, "Memorial services and remembering the fallen are all fine, but we must also look ahead. The key to a good, secure future is positive thinking. It is very easy for you to let cynicism seep into your mind and ignore what's going on around the world, because you start to feel indifferent toward both good and bad. You do not see the need to take up a stand and set things correct. That is why I tell ya Bob, never quit positive thinking. It'll take you places." He's right in his thoughts, isn't he? I love listening to him, and watch his eyes sparkle when he's speaking. His enthusiasm is always infectious.
