until you loose it

I'm so thankful for being able to smile.

About a week ago I got my wisdom teeth out. I had a lot complications and long story short, since then, I haven't been able to smile without a dense pain across my face. I learned the phrase, "You really don't know what you have til you loose it". Over the past couple of days every time I smile (such as, involuntary from laughing at something) I get a dense pain across my face. It hurts a lot but it really led me to realize how much I actually laugh in a day or smile. I thank the Lord for all the opportunities that he gives me to laugh each day and the muscles in my face that he gave me to do that. Even though I praise God for giving me the opportunity to realize how much smiling I do during a day, I am ready for the muscles to be restored, so that I can continue to praise Him with a pain-free smile again.
