Cheerfulness used to be something people practiced, not just felt when the day happened to go well. This is a case for bringing that practice back: how a steady, chosen good humor shapes a household more than any mood ever could, why complaint spreads faster than gratitude unless you interrupt it on purpose, and small daily habits that build a temperament people want to be around. Warm, grounded, and refreshingly old-fashioned.
