happy

There are certain things that piss you off, but I won't list those because it would just force you to focus on them and find an enless more which would do me no good. So instead- I'll list everything that makes me happy or that I'm thankfull for. This instead makes you think of everything and find more things that are good with your life:

1)warm showers- don't care if it's 100 degrees or zero,that water had better burn
2)going to bed smelling yummy and without stubbles thanks to that shower
3)painting- could be a canvas, might be my foot. paint is fun to play with
4)waking up when it's dark and cold outside, but warm under your blanket, but this only works if you have time to sleep in
5)finishing you homework
6)good creme brule
7)waking up to the smell of bacon
8)no homework in all your classes
9)the day your period ends
10) taking off your bra at night( sry for all guys, u don't get this personal pleasure)
11) hot chocolate with marshmallows
12) a good hair day
13) being told you have no cavities
14) working and functioning normally- we take this one for granted for sure. The fact that you don't look like you're crying from sneezing so much every day- or that one nostril isn't clogged and you're not coughing all day. these are the worst things to not have every day
15)noticing a good smell for no reason, it just suddenly smells nice
16)a bug! I'm sorry for those bug-a-phobes but it's cool to just watch one do stuff, crawl around on your desk or something. it's neat.
17) an A on a test
18) making plans for the weekend with friends
19) new clothes
20) tutus
21)acting retarded and not caring
22)getting you computer back!!!!
23) breeze on a hot day
24)listening to the rain( preferably by a fire, definitly inside)
25)accomplishing a goal you set for youself( reaching that far to get the remote counts too)
the list goes on but u'll get bored of it after a while

The little things

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
