Something that has been on my mind lately is how "cheerful" we should come across to others at work, school, etc. I'm normally a very optimistic person with an upbeat attitude, but there are times when I get grumpy or annoyed (especially when I'm on call at 3 am) and I let that show to others around me, often unintentionally.
My question is should we as Christians always try to put on a happy face and seem cheerful regardless of how we really feel? Or do we allow our true grumpiness, sadness, tiredness, etc show as long as we don't sin? Or is being anything less than positive and cheerful a sin?
