Day with no "to do list": simple thing to be happy

It is Good Friday!

Off day. I didn't  planned anything for today. It is a free day to indulge. Why not? 

I put the alarm as usual to wake up at 5 am. But felt like sleeping more. Actually woke up by 6.30. Had coffee and watched some videos on you tube with hubby. Did some chores and had a nap in the afternoon. We watched a movie too. 

Then in the evening, we went out for a walk. But the wind was stronger and it was colder than expected. So after a while we came back. 

It was very relaxing to just do whatever pleases me for a day, without a to do list to follow. 

Simple thing , to be happy

Flossing : simple thing to be happy

  

 Flossing is a healthy habit for some people. It can be a chore for  others. Doing flossing is simple. It is a thread to go between teeth and to keep the proximal surfaces clean. The feel of floss hugging the tooth is something I like. It tickles the gums a little bit. Then remove the food particle stuck between teeth. 

Wrap it around your fingers and push it between teeth, then pull it out. It is that simpleFlossing is simple. It doesn't require any equipment. Can be finished in two minutes. The benefits are many.

I tried the wax floss before. Didn't like it much. Tried the glide floss. It is very pleasing for me. 

Once you finished flossing, it feels like you did a good thing. It will make you feel happy. It does to me. 

Flossing is a simple everyday thingy. Just do it, to be happy!

It is small

It is cheap.

But it is going to get used.

Mostly every day, it will be touched and used.

It won't get any attention.

Finish one chore : simple thing to be happy!

Who like to do the chores? Not really my favourite cup of tea.

Still, I do have to do laundry, clean dishes, vacuum the floors.... 

They are the things to be done, and it is life.

This week, I decided to start doing laundry on Friday evening. Didn't give it much thought. 

Took all the dirty clothes to laundry room. Sorted for one delicate load and started it. I let it go and didn't put them on the line when it was done. I rewarded myself to write a blog post instead!

In the morning, I placed that one load on the line. Then started another load and forget about it. Then, went for work. But, made a note to dry it in the evening after work. Sure, I did that. Folded everything and started with the next load of washing. 

While I am writing this one, the washer is still going on. I will dry them tomorrow morning. It gives a feeling of accomplishment. That makes me happy.

It is a simple thing to finish one chore!

It gives a feeling of one thing done well. 

That makes me happy. 

What is the one simple thing you did today that made you happy?

Give a gift without reason : simple thing to be happy!

I was just wandering during lunch time. The shop nearby was open and not crowded. I wanted to walk around and see inside. 

I felt like buying a small item for my work buddy. It was not considered as a gift usually. I didn't put in the gift bag or anything. 

Just handed it over to my buddy, saying thought you will like it. 

Of course, my buddy loved it. The smile says it all! 

It made me happy. I felt like I was appreciated. 

A simple thing, to be happy!

Clean sheets on the bed: simple things to be happy

Think of bed sheets

Just an everyday item. You just have them, you just use them. 

The cotton bedsheets are good for me.

I like to wash my sheets once a week.  What I like to do is wash them, dry them and then put them on the bed again. My sheets will be warm from the dryer. 

It is a treat for me to make bed with freshly washed and dried sheets. That is also one reason, I  don't open the cupboard to get a new sheet.  It help me to save time by not having to choose a sheet from the shelf. There is no decision to be made: just use the same one, and enjoy the warmth and freshness! 

A simple thing to be happy!

A chocolate! Simple thing to be happy!

I received a box of Ferrero chocolates as a gift. Actually it was a Christmas gift. 

I kept it to open later. Now, it is in the fridge. I decided to open and eat it with my hubby. One piece of chocolate a day. 

After dinner, it is really nice to watch something on You tube and have a piece of chocolate. 

The sweetness melting in your mouth, slowly! the texture is changing on your tongue! 

Chocolate releases serotonin, which stabilizes mood. that is what is making us feel happy while eating chocolates. 

A small piece of delicious chocolate just makes me happy; it doesn't makes me worry about the calories. A small piece of chocolate is just makes me feel in heaven. Sitting my loved one while watching a comedy show is adding extra pleasure to it. I limit one piece for a day. Eating more will cause feeling guilty,

A piece of chocolate, a simple thing to be happy!!

High five: Simple thing to be happy

This is about  work.

The day was scheduled tight for the afternoon. For one patient, scheduled for two fillings. 

She is a mom to a baby. Dentist is doing quadrant dentistry to finish all necessary work. Patient love to get fewer appointments. 

Good thing is the lab sent her crown early. It came during lunch time. 

Bad thing is we may not have enough time for cementation of crown and fillings.

Still we wanted to try. 

Cemented the crown first. Then started fillings. During the cavity prep, patient complained about pain. So, doctor needed to give the anesthetic. But, no problem: I anticipated it and was ready. While that freezing was marinating, we did the other filling. Then came back to the first one. It went well. 

We finished 10 minutes before the scheduled time. So, we did the scan for the night-guard as well!

Yeah! The team got a moment to high five! A small celebration of an accomplishment

Simple thing, to be happy!
