There is a flower! : simple thing to be happy

winter is gone. Still it is chill outside. 

The snow is melting. New buds are forming. Life starts to spring up!

Everything about spring is hope. Days getting longer and brighter. 

I found it on the front yard: the flower. A bright yellow flower! Dancing happily in the wind, smiling along....


Just stay still for a moment, look at the flower. The cheerful yellow is making me smile!

A simple thing, to look and enjoy! to be 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!

Book A week: Week 19



Last week, I finished the book, "Still Life" by Val McDermid. 

I love the cold case getting resolved. 

the story begins with a dead body caught by the fishermen, from Scotland. The evidence prove, he didn't drown. So, it becomes a murder case. Police found that the body belongs to a French citizen. When they found the dead man's real name, the case became more interesting. He was the brother of a man who disappeared without a trace from Scotland ten years before. 

Now, the case is more interesting. With possibility of political embarrassment, the case was assigned to DCI Karen Perie. 

Finally, Ms.Perie finds out the truth. It is really stunning! Love the style of narration. 

I used to skip some lines while reading novels. This one demands my full attention. 

Will I read another from Karen Perie series???

Yes, I will try for sure!

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!

Winning a doughnut: Simple thing to be happy

I love coffee.

It is nice to have a coffee after lunch. So on weekdays, I buy a coffee from Tim Horton's. Now is the roll up the rim time!

After a visit to buy coffee, I can Roll on the app. Oh! it was a win.

I won a doughnut! Wow!!! Cool! 


Which one should I choose?  Boston cream or Sea salted Caramel doughnut? 

The feeling of winning something makes me happy. A simple thing to be happy about!
