"Be of good cheer"

A couple of things lately might point to therapy moving away from the negative and towards the positive. An article in Harvard Alumni magazine talked about emerging therapy to emphasize the good in your life over talking about your problems. A 20/20 piece on "Happiness" said that the old advice about "count your blessing" may have more merit than we thought.
At our Stake conference Jennifer's former mission president (he was a visiting Regional rep.)talked about having an attitiude of cheerfulness in missionary work.
John 16/33: "These things I have spoken to you that in me you might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
D&C 78/18; "And ye cannot bear all things now, nevertheless, be of good cheer for I will lead you along. The kingdon is yours and the blessings thereof are yours and the riches of eternity are yours." (and a whole lot more)

I am disappointed by the few postings on our blog. Can we hear from the g'children, pls? They are the ones with interesting lives and ideas. More postings from adult children would be nice, also.
