My plant baby : simple thing to be happy



I took a photo of my plant baby using my iPhone. she is growing beautifully. 

I made that stick for her to climb and fill over. Now there is new growth from the roots. Think, it is a golden pothos. I got the cutting from a friend two years back. This was planted in the pot last year. 

An easy care house plant is one simple thing to be happy!

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

Keep working : Simple thing to be happy!



Yeah! it is Thursday! It is the Thursday before the Good Friday! That means, it is going to be a long weekend. 

When you work for six days continuously for few weeks, it is a very happy feeling. It is like the first morsel of  that rich delicious cheese cake.

The anticipation of  sleeping in, lazy days are the most amazing one. 

If you are not working then the long weekend won't make any sense. But, working makes it different.  

I didn't realize it before the lockdown last time. When everything closed in last March, I was home for long. The days were dragging. I didn't have a reason to wake up in the morning. 

But, working gives a purpose. Then the off days are more enjoyable. That is the beauty of work!

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!

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?

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!
