be cheerful!

I have always believed that being cheerful was an important part of life.  Life doesn't always go the way you want it to: things aren't always happy, your home isn't always clean, family isn't always perfect, flowers don't always bloom.

Sometimes, it is a blessing just to be cheerful.  Sometimes, that's the absolute best thing you can do that day: put on a smile and enjoy.

“We have a mission to others--to add to their cheer. This we cannot do unless we have first learned the lesson of cheerfulness ourselves.”

-- J.R. Miller
