For Christmas 2019, I asked for an LED letter board. \u00a0I thought it would be fun to have a quote or saying lit up for my family to see. \u00a0My goal was to change the board every week with a new saying. \u00a0I will admit that in one year there were only 29 new messages, but I did take the time to think about what I would post. \u00a0And every time I put a new saying up, I would smile as I took a photo of it. \u00a0I would also repeat it as I walked by the board almost inhaling the message.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The location of the board is at the entrance of our home so others would see it as well. \u00a0As they entered our home, they would read it aloud. \u00a0As they left our home, it would again catch their eye. \u00a0And hopefully, it let a bit of positivity cross their minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some were amusing like \u201cI\u2019LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS\u201d & \u201c30 DAYS OF FAMILY TIME\u201d during the COVID-19 pandemic. \u00a0Some were inspired by holidays like \u201cTHANKFUL, GRATEFUL, & BLESSED\u201d for Thanksgiving and \u201cDON\u2019T SPEND THE NEW YEAR DOING THE SAME STUFF\u201d. \u00a0But the others focused on being grateful, being positive, being generous, and being the best you could be. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think we should all be gently reminded to create a mantra. \u00a0Perhaps you can make it your cell phone\u2019s screen saver or set a daily reminder to pop up at a certain time every day. \u00a0\u2018POSITIVITY IS A CHOICE\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
