Ever have those days when you feel like there's nothing to be happy about? Then this post is for you. There will be days where everything goes wrong—that's life. But if you constantly focus on everything going wrong, you will have a really hard time seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. You may be thinking that I am just one person who may not even understand what you're going through—but hear me out. There was a time in my life where I was sick, and I mean sick! Infection after infection. Going from 110lbs to 86lbs. I couldn't bowl, I couldn't leave my house, I couldn't eat, I couldn't even leave my bed. Why am I telling you this? My anxiety, panic disorder, and fear was SO BAD, I didn't think it was going to get any better. I finally said enough was enough. I decided that something needed to be done. I couldn't spend every day like this. I wanted to talk to someone—my Grandma in particular. So, I picked up my phone to call her, forgetting that she had passed away a couple weeks previous (hope you're still resting in paradise my angel). Losing someone who would talk to me and make the bad things better and the great things greater was tough, but I knew she wouldn't want me to be this way. And this brings me to the title of this post. I started to look for the little things in life to make me happy. I would watch my favourite movie over and over again. Soul Surfer—the movie about Bethany Hamilton. She lost her arm in a shark attack and still went on to be a professional surfer. 12
