What the hell happened to happy?
It seems like people are never happy. Yeah, yeah, yeah... I know... its not exactly like the world is all sparkles and rainbows. But seriously, if people enjoyed the small things half as much as they bitched about them, their lives would be exponentially better.
"For every minute you spend sad, thats a minute you could have spend happy that you'll never get back."-Unknown
When you go through your day, how do you look at everything? Do you focus on how beautiful the sunrise was, or how pretty everything looks all frosted over? Or do you focus on how your pop tart got stuck in the toaster and caught fire? Why is it so hard for some people to focus on the nice things?
And happy is really easy to share. Smile more, simply be kind and courteous. Any person you interact with (and sometimes people you don't) notice your mood. You can turn a person's entire day around with just a smile and friendliness. And its nice to make other people happy. Thats one of my favorite things about my job, interacting with people and making them happy.
Maybe I've just got a childish mentality regarding this. But really, why not look out the window sometime and find something pretty. It really does make the day just a little better. I hate the snow, absolutely hate it. Its cold, wet, nasty stuff that gets in your shoes and everywhere. It frequently assists in injury. But the other day I was looking out the car window, and noticed how fabulously gorgeous all the ugly, dead little weeds looked all covered in pretty, pristine, sparkly snow. I didn't hate the snow quite as much that day.
When you go out somewhere (the gas station, grocery store, etc.) smile at whoever helps you. Thank them. Sure those are just little things, but it makes the day better.
I think if people would start to notice the little things that are happy more than the little things that suck, the world would be a much better place.
