I have found that without a doubt that people are happier if they get joy from the little things in life instead of just the big. Everyone is happy about getting a check on your birthday, but not everyone is happy that it's cool that day during PE. Some people are ecstatic about the fact that they are have corn for dinner that night.
And so I add to my list of little things to be happy about: the ability to use your face. I went to the dentist and my face was numb for at least 4 hours. That got old fast. It's amazing the amount of things you need your lips for. To smile for one. A crooked 1/2 smile does nothing but make everyone else laugh. Or drinking from a straw. My gawd that took a lot of concentration to preform this simple everyday act.
This isn't the first time something like this has happened either. Ever tried getting up in the morning? Next time thank your neck for not being broken. I couldn't move my head for a while and once you're down- you're down. Turn your head right now and look at the wall. Now be thankful that you didn't have to get up and turn your entire body to do that- just your neck.
I try to be thankful of these little things but I quite often forget. But then I'm reminded the next time asthma prevents me from breathing, or hiccups decide to visit, or a cough comes a' knocking. So if these little things make you happy- you're entire day will be better- better than that idiot's who's waiting for a check in the mail. You can be happy that a lady bug landed on you that morning <3
