I know that we cannot "think" ourselves into a happier position in life. It takes work and it takes action to make deliberate changes for improvement. And I know the mad struggles that mental health issues can present. Sometimes they are severe and inhibiting to happiness. Or perhaps a difficult situation in life that we face inhibits our happiness.

That being said, I had an experience last night that really impacted my mood today.

I run a happiness blog. I re-read my "Have Happy Thoughts!" article this morning, and you know what? It cheered me up and completely altered and lifted my mood for the better.

It reminded me of all the simple, wondrous and joyous things in life that can make us feel happiness and joy inside. It reminded me of how beautiful, amazing and astounding this great big planet called earth is.... and that how sometimes, our own problems can shrink away when we can bask in the world's natural beauty and wonder.

So I wanted to share the article with you all here, with the hopes that it may remind us all that we CAN have happier thoughts that in turn, then CAN improve our moods.
