I Choose To Be Cheerful

Today I share the power of prayer with my daily affirmation from my Daily Word pamphlet.

The dawning of a new day fills me with the hope of infinite possibilities.  As I begin each morning, I feel my oneness with God, with nature and with all life.

There is much to appreciate as I spend a few moments of gratitude:  the people and animals I love, the things that bring me comfort, the shelter of my home, the fulfillment of my work and activities.  The more gratitude I express the better I feel.  My heart fills with gladness and a smile crosses my face.  I am cheerful, encouraging and kind.  I look for and find the good in all circumstances, even the challenges.  I see the deeper meaning in my life.

My cheerful attitude and grateful heart lead me to joy and peace.

A cheerful heart is a good medicine. ~ Proverbs 17:22
