Cheerfulness is the gift of sharing warmth and optimism. Sincere good cheer tends to engender happiness, energy, and responsiveness in those around us. This quality may spring from a spontaneous upwelling of joy and good will that cannot be contained; it may also refer to a deliberate choice to focus on what is good and right in the world.
Cheerfulness allows us to move through challenges, assuring us we are capable and resourceful; it tends to increase both the quality and quantity of our years.
So why not be cheerful always. -ck
