How to smile.

Sleep in a little too late. Rush to class. It takes 11 minutes to get to school and 8 minutes to get to your class. You have only 9 minutes. Still make it on time. This starts the day good.
Go through the rest of your classes easily despite not having read any of the homework. Drink some amazing hot chocolate.
Don't spend lunch with your boyfriend. His meeting is more important than you. (Hmph.)
Go to work. Eat a lot of chocolate. Listen to office gossip.
Go home. Clean the bathroom a little bit. Wait.
Walk around Walmart with the boyfriend. Hold hands and laugh and be happy. Today is a good day.
Think about how much better it feels to laugh.
Smile and be happy. Life is so much simpler that way.
Understand that sometimes life is hard and when it is hard, it becomes really easy to start thinking about all the things in life that are wrong. This, of course, makes life even harder. But when you smile and stop thinking, life is simple. It's living from one breath to another without having to think about it. It's laughing effortlessly at anything even remotely funny. It's smiling without having to remind yourself to keep smiling. It's holding his hand without wondering when he's going to let go.
Simple.
Live happily.
Even if it is just for the moment.
One happy day can erase 7 sad ones with one simple smile.
