I try my hardest to be positive. It doesn't always work. When I'm in line at the grocery store I always ask how the cashier's day was too, when I was one it was amazing how many people would just ignore you. I hated that! I try to smile all the time. I try to look for the best in people. That's definitely something that's taken me awhile to be able to do. I try to answer when asked how I'm doing, "Good!" even when I'm not feeling "good". I've found that if I fake it, I usually start feeling it.
I saw the perfect quote from Martha Washington in a fun decorating blog I like to peruse called the Vintage Rabbit. "I am determined to be Cheerful and Happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is not determined by our Circumstance but our Disposition." Isn't that a beautiful quote? Yesterday in Relief Society we had a lesson on looking at our situation and trials and finding something good and positive in it. I loved the lesson! If we remember that we are here on this earth to learn and grow and that we knew and rejoiced in coming down to this earth, I think we could be happier people. Just some random thoughts as I watch The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with my tinies! Have a happy day!

Amazing Wisdom. I have a friend the other day that said, "I am just going to do what I would do if I was having a good day." I think there is something to be said for faking it until you feel it. Sometimes that is just what you have to do when you're the mom!
