  We propose a supersymmetrisation of the cosmological constant in ordinary
$N=1$ supergravity that breaks supersymmetry spontaneously by a constant
Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) term associated to a $U(1)$ symmetry. This term is a
variation of a new gauge invariant FI term proposed recently, which is
invariant under K\"{a}hler transformations and can be written even for a gauged
R-symmetry on top of the standard FI contribution. The two terms are the same
in the absence of matter but differ in its presence. The proposed term is
reduced to a constant FI-term up to fermion interactions that disappear in the
unitary gauge in the absence of any F-term supersymmetry breaking. The constant
FI term leads to a positive cosmological constant, uplifting the vacuum energy
from the usual anti-de Sitter supergravity to any higher value.
