You make such a great point. One of the things that I've come to realize, and you've reaffirmed, is that most times when we feel happy, excited, or joyful, usually those feelings are associated with positive thoughts. Depression, sadness, fear, worry, doubt, bitterness, and anger are usually associated with negative thoughts. Thanks for pointing that out! @Jeremy - Thanks! Yeah I saw that image and thought it was very fitting. Especially with Philippians 4:13. I wanted to do some changes especially at the top hopefully to help from the reader standpoint by featuring and highlighting the articles that have been viewed the most. I guess the most viewed articles is an indication of what "the people" in general are looking for, which is my main goal is to give the majority what they want. So I implemented a featured article scroll in addition to the popular post just below the subscribe box. @Belinda – Thank you! You make such a great point.

I've noticed you've made some awesome changes to your website - love the slide show at the top and your widget at the bottom right, under your Facebook profile. Keep it up, you are rocking!

One thing I've learned about choosing positivity is it generates good feelings which, as you know, is so much more preferable than wasting a perfectly good day by being gripped with fear or worry or any other thing that doesn't allow us to fully appreciate how wonderful being alive is.
