Today's daily affirmation brought to you by...

The Dentist! You may recall my last post about the dentist (I was bitter about some necessary dental work that was not caused by a lack of good oral hygiene). I visited the dentist again today, and I was a little nervous, especially since I just dropped a wad of cash on a new laptop and a vacation to Florida (Woo! Spring Break! Woo!). I only have so many (2) wads of cash to drop on things. I have no more!

So imagine my delight when my dentist, as he was doing some sort of super painful power wash thing of my gums, kept saying, "This looks so good. You're doing a great job!" At the end of the appointment, he always does a dentist/patient chat, which I find super endearing. It feels like nice, old-timey dentistry, except with sterile instruments, new-fangled tooth technology, and modern pain medication. And he said again that I was doing a great job and looked really good.

Sure, he was talking about my teeth. But all day I've been looking in the mirror, smiling (taking advantage of the nice teeth) and thinking, "I'm doing a great job! I look really good!" The dentist was totally my new age feel-goodery today! Pretty awesome.

Now I'm passing it on to you: You're doing a great job! You look really good!

Make sure you floss.

Oh man, I am laughing! Dentists NEVER say affirming things to me...well, not POSITIVE affirming stuff, anyway. But you do look SOO good! (as said in a teen girl squad way) I'm glad your day was as bright as your smile because of this kind dentist. And thanks for your awesome dental hygiene example.
