You used this one but it is just too appropriate. My only addition would be that every part of the team understands that tone a bit differently and your job is to understand that.

Excellent point about tone, make sure your message is understood by everyone. Perception can definitely be different for others in the organization. Have a great day Jack!

Good morning, Col Burroughs and all my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I have found that a positive outlook on life sets the tone for a fulfilling life, in spite of our individual circumstances. We can wallow in self-pity and be miserable all the time or decide to be grateful for what we have and realize that things could be much worse. With a positive outlook, others will see that in you and be greatly influenced by your attitude. I found a link that shows how a simple habit can set the tone for your day. Have a blessed day today and always.
