Being positive 24/7 takes a lot of mental work but even then there will be times/days/minutes that a cloud of negativity, depression will hit and all the talking to yourself won’t help. Sometimes it takes more than that whether it be the help of Mother Nature or just looking at the world around you.

For the last 17 years I found a place in the world no matter what is happening in my life, no matter what the weather may be, no matter how I am feeling but, especially if I am ‘down’, I can just walk to The Point, which is at the east end of the Gateway Terrace apartments where I live. It overlooks Karen Bay and sometimes, with weather change, in can be in Karen Bay! To the north is Sunrise Boulevard, a major east-west road in Fort Lauderdale but you don’t see or hear any noise.

At night, when the sky is clear, you see stars twinkling and during the day the sun shines brightly and the clouds are in all forms.

The Point is just a place of peace and wonder and works marvels on your mind to appreciate what you have and what is around you and any negativity disappears and you walk back to your place with a huge weight lifted and a pleasing smile on your face.
