Attitude Crattitude

Attitude, Crattitude. Mattitude. Fattitude. Jattitude. Rattitude.
Nothing comes close to it.
There is only one.
And it is all yours.
Nothing compares.
Nothing can replace it.
It walks ahead of you into rooms.
It shows people who you are before you say a word.
It displays itself by the way you carry your body, fold your arms, and move.
Can it be changed?
Absolutely.
The most effective people have learned how to change it fast and
furiously.
For their greater good,
and self preservation,
to keep their jobs, and their
families.
Attitude. Crattitude. Nothing to make fun of really.

Love this poem, Caren! I find that my attitude is always a work-in-progress (for various reasons)!

I am on a little "me" roll again, and I think "change your attitude woman!" and then I have to.

Love the line "it walks ahead of you into rooms" such a perfect personification!

I had to do it. It came to me as I was typing it up, not during the original pen writing and I knew it had to be. Thank you for your lovely comments today, Michelle.
