Simple Things

So I absolutely love. love. love. The movie 'Wall-E'. .. And I think my most favorite thing about the movie, is that the writers gave him the most unexpected character. The beginning of the movie was sad to me, and I almost wanted to turn it off, until we reached one of the best parts..

The morning when he rolls off his shelf, not even remotely awake just yet, and rolls right into the wall. And its not just me who thinks that this is one of the best parts of the movie, almost every single person that I have watched the movie with, or have talked to about the movie, agrees that this is a fantastic part, and you know why its so brilliant and we all love it.. Because we all do it!!! Dont lie, I know you've done it at least once or twice in your lifetime, and if you honestly haven't... then believe me my friends, you will.. just wait..

I'm not lying, i've done it several times... and I haven't just walked into something, or stubbed my toe... No... I've gotten black eyes before, and the reason why i'm randomly talking about this is because today I fell out of bed.

See.. normally a person can get out of the left or right side of their bed, not me, the way my room is set-up, I have to crawl to the end of my bed and get off.

So this morning i'm crawling out of bed as usual, but something was different... the bed had looked longer than it was because the blankets were hanging a little further than the mattress itself was... so what do I do??.... I crawled/fell, right off the bed, and the result... tensor bandage around the wrist. Yeaaaah... Just a taste of my clumsy-ness for you right there... I'm ok though! No need to fret. I laughed pretty hard at myself while saying "It hurts!!"

But see.... Just writting about it, and thinking about it all over again, I still laugh about it. And it got me to thinking about silly things that we do in our everyday lives, and so many people just... dont know how to loosen up and laugh about it. Its those silly, simple things that make your day. Well they make my day.

Having a sense of humour, to me personally is key. Otherwise life would be so miserable.

We take these things for granted I think.

You gotta be able to have a little bit of a laugh everyday. If you're having a bad day, or you're feeling blue, just try to think of something that made you laugh, even if its the stupidest thing that no one else would understand.... if makes you laugh and feel better, even for second, then go for it!!

Laughter is the best medicine.

Anyways, my point about throwing Wall-E into this blog, wasn't just to mention the clumsy side of him in the mornings, but it was also to point out that, he enjoyed the simplest things in life, he took fascination to things that we would never even think twice about, like... when he found the diamond ring, and tossed it aside and just kept the box. He collected so many little gadgets that even I myself wouldn't collect, and i'm not suggesting that we all start collecting little gadgets, but i'm saying he took notice to the things that we never did, we're Eve's.

She didnt really take the time to observe anything, she just did her job, and moved on. Until Wall-E came along and showed her how to enjoy the simple things.

My point being... that just by smiling randomly, or sharing an embarrassing story about yourself, or about anything really... its contagious.

You see someone smiling... you'll smile. And then someone else will see you smiling and they'll smile.

Simple things.

What would we do without them??
