Cum sa nu ratezi niciun zambet

Cum sa nu ratezi niciun zambet

In sfarsit am revenit la pozele de vacanta din Noua Zeelanda, care ramasesera restante. Cum deschid folderul lor, cum automat zambesc. Bine, cred ca ma molipseste si zambetul meu larg din fiecare imagine, un zambet “pe bune”, nu de dragul aparatului, ci de dragul experientei, care imi umple sufletul de bucurie. Ce prijelisti, ce aventura, ce amintiri si ce fericire pe chipul meu. Ce puteam sa imi doresc mai mult?!

EN: I am finally back looking through the photos taken during our vacation in New Zealand, which I haven’t showed you yet. As soon as I open the folder, I immediately smile. Well, I guess it’s because of my big smile from each photo, a “real” smile, not just for the camera, but for the experience, which brings great joy to my heart. The views, the adventure, the memories and the happiness on my face. What else could I wish for?!

Zilele trecute am dat peste un ravas al Lumanarii Moon care spunea ca: “Secretul succesului este sa faci din vocatia ta o vacanta” (Mark Twain). Aud din ce in ce mai  multa lume in jurul meu vorbind despre vacanta de iarna, pe care o asteapta deja cu nerabdare. Urmand ca din februarie, aceeasi oameni sa planifice cu emotie vacanta de vara. Si tot asa, transformand vacantele in telul anului, in principala sursa de voie buna. De parca am trai doar pentru vacante. Si eu am cazut plasa de multe ori acestui “fenomen”, fiind nevoita sa reconsider nenumaratele motive de bucurie pe care le am, dincolo de cele din timpul celor maxim 4 -5 saptamani de concediu pe an (asta intr-un an bun!).

In plus, mi-a dat aceasta tema de gandire si noua campanie DENT ESTET, care poarta mesajul inspirational: “Nu rata niciun zambet”. Al meu? Al celor dragi? Cand? Cum? Ce sa fac mai intai? Asa ca am sa las degetele sa tasteze ceea ce ar putea reprezenta un “dicteu dedicat zambetelor”. Iata cum imi propun sa nu ratez niciun zambet in timpul unei zile absolut obisnuite:

• Dimineata nu vreau sa ratez niciun zambet cand il vad pe Vlad ciufulit dupa un somnic bun. Sunt tot timpul in intarziere si de multe ori nu pretuiesc cum se cuvine astfel de momente care ma fac automat sa zambesc. De exemplu, ma amuza teribil diminetile in care Vlad se trezeste la el in camera si, ca sa vina pana la noi in dormitor, se suie pe o tricicleta, pe care o “parcheaza” langa patul nostru. Desi camerele sunt lipite, drumul la prima ora pana la patul nostru i se pare probabil prea lung ca sa il parcurga “pe jos”, drept urmare prefera sa “ia masina”.
• Sa fac piata mai des, unde imi zambeste si doamna care are cei mai buni struguri, si doamna care are cele mai bune rosii, si doamna care are cea mai gustoasa telemea…
• Sa ma privesc mai atent in oglinda, in ochi, si sa imi zambesc. Nu m-am mai privit atent in oglinda de ani de zile, pana mai ieri, cand am stat vreo 2 minute uitandu-ma in ochii mei, in oglinda. Senzatia de dedublare, stranie la inceput, m-a facut sa-mi zambesc cu blandete si sa ma iert de nervii ultimelor zile.
• Nu vreau sa ratez niciun zambet de-al lui Vlad, de cand il iau de la gradi si pana il culc. Trebuie doar sa ma organizez mai bine, ca sa pot petrece cat mai mult timp de calitate cu el. Caci fiecare zambet de-al lui naste automat un zambet de-al meu. E un magician, altfel nu imi explic cum de ii iese asa de bine acest “truc”. Sau “troc” de zambete?
• Ca tot a venit frigul, sa gatesc mai des. Orice prajitura sau mancare facuta in casa poate fi un motiv de bunadispozitie.
• Sa nu ratez niciun zambet complice al colegilor de scena, cand publicul nu ne vede. Oh, Doamne, ce placute sunt acele zambete!

Va invit pe voi sa continuati aceasta lista, cu motivele personale care va indeamna sa zambiti. Care ar fi acelea azi, acum?

EN: A few days ago I accidentally came across a fortune saying of the Moon Candle, which said that: “The secret to success is turning your calling into a vacation.” (Mark Twain). I hear more and more people around me talking about the winter vacation, which they are already awaiting anxiously. And then, come February , those same people are happily planning the summer vacation. And so on, transforming vacations into the targets of the year, into the main source of joy. Like we are only living for vacations. I myself have fallen for this “phenomenon”, being forced to reconsider the countless reasons for happiness I already have, beyond those 4-5 weeks of vacation in a year (I mean in a good year!).

Also, this subject of debate was also brought up by the new Dentestet campaign, which carries the inspirational message: “Don’t miss a smile”. Mine? Of my loved ones? When? How? What do I do first? So I will let my fingers type what could be a “manifest dedicated to smiling”. So here is how I propose myself never to miss a smile during an absolutely ordinary day:

• In the morning I don’t want to miss a smile when I see Vlad’s sleepy head after a good night’s rest. I am always running late and I mostly forget to cherish such moments as I should, because they make smile instantly. For example, I am really amused in the mornings when Vlad wakes up in his own bed and, to come to our bedroom, he rides his tricycle, which he parks by our bed. Although our rooms are right next to each other, first thing in the morning, the walk to our bed seems too long to walk, so he prefers to “drive”.
• Going to the market more often, where the lady who sells me the best grapes always smiles, just like the lady with the best tomatoes, and the lady with the best cheese…
• Looking at myself more attentively in the mirror, into my eyes, smiling to myself more often. I haven’t done that in years, until recently, when I stared into my eyes for about 2 minutes, in the mirror. The outer body feeling, strange in the beginning, made me smile to myself more kindly and forgive myself for the angry past days.
• I don’t want to miss a smile of Vlad’s, since I pick him up from kindergarten and until he goes to sleep. I just have to organize better, so that I can spend more quality time with him. Because every one of his smiles immediately brings a smile to my face. He’s a magician, I can’t explain otherwise how he gets this “trick” so perfectly done. Or maybe it’s an “exchange” of smiles?  
• Since it’s cold again, I should cook more often. Every cake you bake or food you cook in the house, could be a reason of joy.
• I shouldn’t miss any smile of my fellow actors, when the audience doesn’t see us. Oh God, those smiles are the best!

I invite you to continue this list, with personal reasons which make you smile. What would they be, right now?
