I am happy that, even as the years go by, I will not forget what made me happy before. When I can go on the sidewalk tiles like a chessboard: it’s like a queen, it’s like a horse – this was my invented way to become Alice in the Wonderland…
When my mom still asks me to apply whisked egg on buns’ top – it was a big responsibility for me as a child…
When I smile at passers-by until they smile at me – that is how I overcome my fear of talking to strangers during my studies.
I believe that from time to time repeating the rituals that have brought us joy for many years, we return to the pristine dreamer of ourselves, reminding ourselves – ones who are sunk in endless works, ambitions, and the endless quest for the excitement- that we really need only little to become overwhelmed by happiness.

Mother always said we should never keep our plates dry after food They should be soaked. And yes there are other rituals too that I follow.
I my rituals were in the chores I helped with when a child from cutting the grass like my dad did to cleaning the house like my mom did and just following the rules and tips they gave.
