Whether you believe in a higher power or not, I believe majority of us believes in something.
I do believe in God, and I believe He is great! I am very thankful for the gifts in which have been brought to my life, the opportunities all because of Him.
Yet, it is when we are down and out is when we need to do our best to give thanks, to seek joy. How does one find happiness when we are miserable? It is not easy. That is when the little things are more important than ever. Maybe you have a pet, and that animal offers those moments during the day when they are silly or make you laugh? My roommate has a cat and I call him, Mister Fuzzy Boots. This cat is a goofy ass cat, and he will do random things that make you laugh and shake your head. I have chickens and I find it amazing how they can make me laugh even on my most depressed and sad day.
Maybe you have a favorite coffee mug, sweater, hobby or photo? Whatever it is that brings you joy, I encourage you to maintain a spirit of joy within you. This is not always easy, not with how life can not just hand us lemons, but it can turn us from joyful to depressed in .05 seconds.
That is why having a spirit of joy, gratitude and thankfulness in your heart is important. If you do believe in God or a higher spirit, don't just thank that higher power during times of joy. It is during those times of sorrow and sadness we need to remember we are blessed and have many things to give thanks and sincerely recall the gratitude in our lives for the many gifts which have been blessed upon us.
