Happy THANK YOU More Please

I saw this movie on an airplane going somewhere for work. I asked my co-worker about it and said he didn't like it. Fully wrinkled his nose. I have to say I really liked it. 
I need the piece of wisdom from this movie. WARNING I am going to ruin the title for you:
One character says she is told by her cab driver that the universe wants her to have happienss and she needs to be more grateful. 
Asking: "How do I do that?" 
He says "You just need to say 'thank you'" 
She says "that's it?" 
And he says "yes, and then you need to say "more please"".
The story is a crazy little tale with several characters. I have to say I have been feeling a little okay a lot overwhelmed at work lately. 
I also have this idea to apply for graduate school which seems to add on to my already busy schedule. You can maybe sense that I"m not exactly very grateful right now. So from today forward I am going to try to remember- "Yes, Thank you.. MORE Please" It is true even looking back at college when I thought I had too much on my plate the opportunities that came along taught me more than if I had let them slip by. 
I hate to make an analogy but if my life is a crazy roller coaster ride I want to actually enjoy it. Instead of feeling like I am holding on for dear life!

thank you more please :)

SUP

Otherwise known as Stand-UP Paddle. 
I just tried it a couple of weeks ago thanks to a few friends. I had a chip on my shoulder about it because SUP guys get in the way while surfing. They have this huge big scary paddle and a giant board. Needless to say I did not want to be a SUPper.. Maybe they should be shark SUPper. So my first time I paddled around a shallow area with no waves. 

The next time out, I thought about catching waves but I just started paddling to get pretty far from the beach. All of a sudden I was near boats! Another SUPper actually paddled over because he was worried I was out there alone. Frankly I thought it was awesome and it wasn't until he said something I started getting scared about being alone out there. All in all, I got some great pictures. 

  Yes, I was in Hawaii. 

 My home away from home.
 See I was by boats!
