This week marks Flood Safety Week. Remember to turn around, don't drown when you see water flooding a road. You can't always tell how deep the water is, so it could flood your engine. If it is flowing, it could sweep your vehicle away with just inches of water.

Did you know that March is National Optimism Month? During this time, we recognize that it can be difficult to be optimistic when we are grieving a loss. However, there are gentle and graceful ways to choose a positive view in daily life. For example, choose one thing that went right recently, no matter how small it was. Maybe you didn't fall on the ice that one time, or you are grateful you were able to go to the store. You can also be intentional about optimism by writing down your plan to look at things more positively.
There are many books about optimism and positivity. Check them out at the library if you are curious!
