just be happy, gosh darn it

so, today i was at tim hortons coming out of the washroom when i accedently allmost hit a lady with the door. not exactly a serious crime or end of the world situation, am i right? Well this lady shot me a viciously angry look. the kind of look that takes a whole lotta effort to make. First you have to scowl, squint your eyes real tight, wrinkle your brow and add in a little hmmmffft kinda sound to top it all off. I said sorry and that i never saw her, but would that wipe that horrid look off her face? no way. she was dead set on being grumpy and she stuck to, not varying into nice or event semi not angry even once. why do we insist on being grumpy? i find grumpiness is just a bad habit, the more you practice it, the more you choose reacting in a cruel and grouchy manner, the better you get at it. and before you know it, you find yourself with a perminant frown, multiplied wrinkles invading your face, a lack of hope that the next day will be any better. it's all this vicious cycle that won't stop until we choose happy over sad, kind over cruel, a smile over a frown. maybe it's easier than it actually seems, but it only gets easier once you make it a routine. we all hate the old grouchy teachers at school who seem like they don;t remember what it was like to be a kid, we hate the drama starters and vicious gossips, we hate the bullies and divas. so why do we all act like them? o sure as heck ain't perfect and have my grumpy days, but on those less than appealing days instead of dwelling on my unhappiness i try to shove it out of the way or even stay outta people's way as i can be pretty darn unpleasant if i wanted to. ( sorry if you've had to endure one of those days.) okay. well, that's all i got. so tim hortons lady, just be happy. that frown on your face really isn't the most becoming.
