Tonight Jeff looked at me, smiled, and told me that I had been very cheerful today.
I looked back at him, smiled, got all warm inside, and said thank you.
And I decided I wanted to have many more cheerful days.
Because even though my little boy was sick today and I was tired and didn't get nearly enough done, it was a great day.
Here are some Cheerful thoughts that are good reminders to me:
A happy woman is one who has no cares at all; a cheerful woman is one who has cares but doesn't let them get her down. -Beverly Sills
Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, and its power of endurance - the cheerful man will do more in the same time, will do it better, will preserve it longer, than the sad or sullen. -Thomas Carlyle
There is no personal charm so great as the charm of a cheerful temperament. -Henry Van Dyke
Have a cheerful day!

Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart ~ William Wordsworth
Why...
You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down & keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of these meaningful significant things. Some of them may be funny. Some may be of significance only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience.
~ President Gordon B Hinckley

Oh my goodness, I'm the first to leave a comment on this post! And that's a first... where is everybody?!
Just wanted to share with you a quote I found...
"I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances." - Martha Washington
I have trouble believing you are ever not cheerful; that seems like such an oxymoron! But I think being a little hard on ourselves as moms comes with the territory... sometimes we just don't feel as though we're upholding our end of the bargain! And that's okay... because we're not perfect (even if we so want to be) and learn our own lessons every day. :)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the uplifting quotes! - E
