Yesterday at BYUI devotional, Elder Clark mentioned about living with a cheerful and grateful heart. This really hit home to me, because I find that it is really important to live this kind of lifestyle.
Being grateful is a must in my life. Many people do things for us and so it is really important to thank them. You never know that it may make someone's day if you thank them because we don't often hear the simple two words, "Thank You" that much anymore. Also, I have come to know that it is important to be grateful for what we do have in our lives. Spending more time with a grateful heart for what we have in our lives can make all the difference. Having a positive attitude about our lives is always helpful too. Life is short yet really amazing.
Being cheerful can make all the difference, literally. People observe those around them so it is always good to leave a mark as a cheerful person. You never know that somebody is looking up to you. Being happy with what we have is extremely important. Being happy and cheerful also helps us endure our trials and it makes it easier to endure them. If we all are depressed abot our trials, it will be a long and bumpy road. Smiling and laughing everyday helps you maintain being happy and cheerful. Smiling to people just might make their day. Smiling can go a long ways.
So by having a grateful and cheerful heart, it can make all of the difference. Love you all!

I totally agree! It is so important to have an "attitude of gratitude". I've been trying to focus my prayers more on gratitude instead of asking for things so much. Thanks for the great reminder to be cheerful! I enjoyed your post!
