I was sitting in the dentist chair just about to have some goey, jucky tasting stuff jabbed into my mouth (making a splint) when my dentist Jeri Coffey said “I tell these young girls, life isn’t about the one big happy but millions of little happies.” I smiled and soon upper and lower molds were pressed into my mouth and the goey, jucky stuff started to ooze out into my mouth. It was truly disgusting. After about a minute Dr. Coffey took the molds out and we talked. We talked about happiness. I reminded her of 1Thessalonians 5:16 in the Bible which states, “Be joyful always.”

I can remember the day when I thought my whole happiness related to my girlfriend Marion. Yes our courtship was wonderful but those feelings change. Yes she is still ‘my girl’ but she would concur that life is millions of little happies. Each day can be many of those happy moments.

It is 1:12 pm on a workday so what happies have happened to me today. I met my wife at 5:05 a.m. after the alarm went off and climbed on top of her and hugged her and kissed her neck. That was a great happy to start the day! We then went into the gym in our basement and met our friend Alan and did cycling on our trainers. We had a 1.5 hour workout and it was awesome. We all felt great during it and after. There were probably four or five happies during that time. I then went to work. Of course when clients are doing great, each of those moments are happies. One particular patient was struggling because her mean, alcoholic son is living at home. He has hepatitis C and it puts such a strain on my client (his mother). I prayed with the client for their son and her. That was a happy moment. For lunch I met three young people, all college students that I have watched grow up. They are all doing great in college. One plans to be a Christian missionary, another one a doctor and one wants to be full-time army, special forces. During the lunch we shared our goals and dreams for the next year. There were lots of happies during this hour. Well my first client is ready to get Prolotherapy, so I have to go. I hope for many more happies this afternoon because life is millions of little happies.
