Being optimistic by always trusting in God and seeing things in a bright way is a thing I've been trying to work on for a long time. Some call it "spiritual optimism" or just plain Joy. In my opinion being joyful isn't being happy and things always turning out right but seeing the good and the God in every situation. It's not letting yourself get down in the hardest times, not just smiling like a Barbie doll twenty-four seven. And to me it's also thinking of the good things God has blessed you with in your life everyday. So as a sort of side project I want to start posting new things named after one of my favorite songs, "My Favorite Things."
I want this to be a way of thanking God everyday and I want to post at least one a day what something physical, spiritual, or emotional that is one of my favorite things. I think this will help me in being more optimistic and focusing on the good things in life!
I'm not doing this in an order of best to least or anything, just what pops in my head that day. So today will be number one.
1. When an old memory of something good randomly pops into my head.
I love when I am just sitting somewhere or absorbed in something and a funny and happy old memory pops into my head. It makes me smile a little, even on one of my worst days, to think of when whatever it was happened. Sometimes I randomly smile or laugh and people think I'm a little crazy or that I saw something funny just then, but in reality I had just thought of something that happened either just a little while ago or even years ago. And I have to thank God for having those memories and for me to be able to keep them and be reminded of them!

(p.s. I suggest other people make list like this, it really helps to keep your spirit up)
