Taping into the Positives of Life

My son likes to laugh. He laughs all the time. He even laughs when he does something naughty; I do not laugh though. However, after reading about the mind, depression, and joy, I think that God is trying to say something to me. He wants me to be a bit more filled with joy. So how do I go about this. One, is to laugh. This helps combat depression and can affect the people around you in a good way. Second, along the first line, is to think positively. How do I go about that? Remember good times. Basically, if I am in a down mood, think of a happy time, a happy place. This should help swing the mood to a more joyous tone. Finally, read through psalms. It has a lot of positive thoughts and can help jump start a day. Enjoy your day and remember tap into the positives in life; you deserve that.

Ps 1:1-2
"Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on His law he mediates day and night."
