No, some people can't - it's called depression. And telling them they can just reduces them to tears, because if they could you bet your sweet patootie they would.
Vee, just say, "I hope that is true." I am smiling.
Shelly, it is true that it requires work. Sometimes a lot of work!
Grace, I am all too keenly aware that there is such a thing as clinical depression which sucks the life out of a person. I want never to offend by expression of my notions, and it is true that there are some people for whom the admonition will not apply. (But I wanted to post my picture of the moon!)
Lin, we all need occasional reminders, no matter our personality. We are not all alike, but we are all in this together.

Hopefully, true (and I know you don't like the word hopefully.) Smile - be happy!
