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!

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

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 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.
It is a gift!
It is a mask extender!!!!!
I got it from my dentist. She said, it came as a pack of six and gave me one. It is a very useful gadget, yet not expensive, she said.
Thank you doctor! I try it on and oolala, my ears are thankful!
It is making me happy.
A gift well received.
What is the simple thing making you happy now?

Oh yeah!
My 20th book is finished!!!!! "Long Bright River" by Liz Moore is the 20th book.
I got this book because my friend Vivian recommended it. I always trust her recommendations.
The book is based on substance addiction. Two sisters, grown up in the same house, turned to live very different lives. One, became a cop and the other, a substance abuser.
Mickey is a cop and a single mom. She has her own problems with life. Her sister Kacey lives on the street. Her ex boyfriend is not paying child support. Her son is only four years old! She needs a reliable babysitter too.
Mickey is awkward in social situations. Their mother killed herself, when Mickey and Kacey were little. They were brought up by the grandmother, a very cold woman, who was traumatized by the overdose and eventual death of her own daughter. Their father left them too. The family didn't really care about education or being on the right side of the law.
Kacey is missing. Even though Mickey is not on speaking terms with Kacey, she wants to find Kacey.
Being born when mother was addicted to drugs, Kacy had withdrawal symptoms at birth. No one really knew about it then. Mickey's search for her sister made her realize how their mother's addiction might be the root cause of Kacey's fate. She also finds out where their father is living now.
The novel taught me a lot about why people cannot get out of addiction. I didn't know a baby born to a woman who is a drug addict, needed to be held, and given medication to help them from withdrawal symptoms.
This tells the story of the strength and vulnerability of women.
A good read indeed.
Any suggestions for my next read?
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?
