What a great time to be practicing optimism! We may not be able to control what is happening around the world right now, but we “can” decide how we want to react to it. Even in the midst of crisis, our mindset is our choice. An optimistic attitude can make any situation easier to handle, so go forth with your happy attitude and dare to be optimistic!

and I have the power to make it so.” Author Unknown
During the month of March, our staff implemented the following activities to remind all of us to focus on the brighter side of things.
