Keep a Cheerful Attitude
(taken from The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, 101 Inspiring Ways to Enjoy Christmas)
You'd think that a happy holiday would make it easy to stay cheerful. But people register their highest levels of depression during the Christmas season. Between short days and long lists of things to do, you have to decide to cultivate a cheerful attitude.
One way to stay positive even when negative things happen is to step back from stressful situations, giving yourself time to regain perspective. Another is to take good care of yourself. Then you'll have energy for cheerfulness. Let prayer reconnect you to a sense of God's presence so you can see that everything is a blessing, even when in disguise.
Perspective
Take a brisk walk outdoors. Don't forget that daily exercise energizes you and raises your spirits.
"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones." ~Proverbs 17:22
This is just what I needed today especially after a long but memorable day and still with a long list of things yet to do.
"Chase"ism for the day...
Brad was playing with him and playfully asked "Who do you love more, mommy or daddy?"
Chase: "I don't know how to answer that one."
Smart boy.
