7. The #AttitudeChallenge for this week is cheerfulness. #TheSuitableHelp
8. This is an attitude I struggled with until I started 'mastering' the art of being cheerful. #TheSuitableHelp
9. I used to wonder how people could look so happy and bubbly with no trace of a problem. #TheSuitableHelp
10. Now I understand better that though they had problems, they knew how to look to the brighter side of life, which I couldn't. #TheSuitableHelp
11. I accepted the long face as my nature until I began to learn that an uncheerful look had a lot to do with one's self esteem. #TheSuitableHelp
12. And the eyes through which one views life and how one feels about herself. #TheSuitableHelp
13. How do you see life, your gifts, your marriage, spouse, kids, people and relationships? #TheSuitableHelp
14. Do you see them through appreciative eyes or through the flaws embedded in each of them? #TheSuitableHelp
15. When you view life through appreciative eyes, your soul is lifted with joy as a spirit of gratitude wells up in you. #TheSuitableHelp
16. Wives are the remote control that determine the mood in the home. #TheSuitableHelp
17. When the wife is gloomy, it trickles down to every member of the family and its often blamed on the one who provoked the mood swing. #TheSuitableHelp
18. Women aren't super humans so getting angry is inevitable but its also important to master getting over our hurt feelings. #TheSuitableHelp
19. One method that has helped me is reminding myself that I need to stay inspired to be able to inspire others. #TheSuitableHelp
20. Which cannot be possible if I dwell on my anger and the negatives that get me upset. #TheSuitableHelp
21. What do you value so much that its not worth sacrificing at the alter of anger, sadness and negativity. #TheSuitableHelp
22. This can be the key to turning on your cheerful mood. #TheSuitableHelp
23. When a woman is full of life and laughter, it permeates the home and every member in it. #TheSuitableHelp
24. But a gloomy spirit dampens the most enthusiastic heart. #TheSuitableHelp
25. Are you enthusiastic about talking with your spouse on phone and welcoming him home? #TheSuitableHelp
26. How you feel will always reflect in your attitude towards him when he walks through the door. #TheSuitableHelp
27. The attitude is a betrayer of our feelings, either we're excited or not. #TheSuitableHelp
28. The best skill in home interior decor can never take the place of the love and warmth that should welcome a man. #TheSuitableHelp
29. The man wants a home that is supporting, comforting, encouraging and accepting. #TheSuitableHelp
30. When these are missing, he goes else where in search of it; he would work late and blame it on traffic. #TheSuitableHelp
31. He would prefer to hang out with guys than return home to a face that's too scary to behold. #TheSuitableHelp
32. Or find interest in chatting with a female colleague who has mastered the art of listening without judging. #TheSuitableHelp
33. The home has a great impact on the man's ability to process and handle issues he is up against in life. #TheSuitableHelp
34. Therefore, he's wants a haven in a home where he can be encouraged and his ego comforted. #TheSuitableHelp
35. God can help every wife who genuinely desires to make her home a haven. #TheSuitableHelp
36. For those who being cheerful doesn't come naturally, you can practice the following. #TheSuitableHelp
