1. This morning, I woke up with an urgent sms received from Bea, my 3rd sister, reminding me that my road tax is expiring today! Found my vehicle registration card, went to client's place in Puchong and had my road tax renewed at the post office in Tesco. Phew! Just in time! Sent out an sms to Bea to thank her for the timely reminder. Next year, won't be so lucky I guess? Very quickly, I keyed-in the next renewal date into my handphone to be sure that I won't need to depend on Bea to remind me again! Ha ha ...
2. Today, I sent out an email and received a heart-warming lovely email in return from my penfriend. He made my day again :-)
3. Went for a swim with Bob and Carwen again this evening. This time, I discovered a way where I am able to swim more laps without the kids' getting in my way. I got them to swim the laps with me as in a race! Instead of the longer laps horizontally, I got them to race with me in vertically shorter laps ! Smart ol' me ! YES. Another well thought and workable tactic ! Just killed two birds with a stone ... ha ha ...
4. Finished reading my Reader's Digest. Love the article on 'The Way to Happiness". Some extracts : the key to enduring joy is to look beyond fleeting pleasures, to the other pillars of authentic happiness - engagement with family, work or a passionate pursuit, and finding meaning from some higher purpose... Keeping a daily gratitude journal seems hokey to some people, but writing a letter of gratitude may be very meaningful... Dare to Laugh Out Loud - laughing out loud is exactly the kind of adventurous, bold action that makes you feel happier... be less virtual, more 3-D... 2,4,6,8 who do you appreciate? (i.e. counting your blessings may be the single most helpful thing you can do for your happiness quotient) ... Rack them up ... Think memorable, not material ... Go to the funny side ... Escape to your stress-free zone ... See the glass as half full ... Find your inner artist ... Do something good ... Seize the moment ... SMILE !
