My quota…for today

I was going through Dimmajo blog on https://whathaveyoureadthismonth.wordpress.com when I read the line “The things that matter most in life are not just being happy, It is people being happy because of us” and I just kept thinking about it.

It was on her blog post titled ‘THERE IS NO SACRIFICE BETTER THAN BEING HAPPY, AND ALSO OTHERS BEING HAPPY BECAUSE OF YOU!!”

Twenty four hours later, I found myself reading out it to my husband…it was the third time I had gone back to the blog post.

I think it’s what had me going this afternoon as I prepared to visit a colleague in the hospital.

I remembered a conversation we had had about a certain brand of iced tea on the shelves of a super market in town.

She had told me how much she loved it and recommended I give it a try and I told her I was going to check it out. I still haven’t done that.

Back to present day, I’m racking my brain about what to take to her and then I realized I could make a version of that lemon and Lipton iced tea she talked about… after all, i had all the ingredients I needed at home.

I showed up at her hospital bedside at 3pm with a very chilled jar of my home made lipton and lemon iced tea.

I smiled when I heard her say “chai…aunty Mimi this thing is so sweet”. It made my heart smile to see her so happy. She was happy because of something I had done. I love it when I make people smile.

One day at a time…I did today’s quota…hello tomorrow
