A Dentist's chair ,may be a normal thing for some of us, like a barber's chair or a spa chair or even a recliner in our TV rooms... but there are people like me who detest it so much that they can go years delaying "required procedures".
As I am part of the later mentioned crowd ,resistant to any pain afflicting treatment,.... I delayed first root canal which caused lots of pain and a lost molar,then caused a big space in my jaw....which required a three crown bridge, or cap.

After delaying for years when I finally realized that one day I have to face... it my dental issues are not self treatable then I secretly started getting information about many people near me, who had similar things done .. and miraculously survived too. Results were not bad and they all seemed happy and Smiling too.

All this and little bit motivation from family pushed me in to the dentist's chair... some painful shots and lots of drilling inside my mouth.... bright lights making it hard to keep my eyes open and an other device stopping me to close my mouth.... my mind kept wandering ... what should be on the ceiling of this clinic? a jaw dropping movie from discovery channel? a horror ?

And by the end of the three sittings in one week my confidence increased and thoughts like " this procedure may be a small step, but can prove 1st step to cosmetic surgery". starting to pop in my mind.
So I can say all together it was not a bad experience ! and I may join the brave group now.... if they have face book page where one can get awarded for bravery..

Deadlines are Good or Bad for Us?

October 31st was the dead line for my last writing project...( it sound so impressive)as I am striving to be a children's book writer ... ideas keep flowing in my head all the time... however nothing gets done unless there is a dead line to meet.... My first book got done in the same way ... but this time it was not necessary to participate, and time was really short for this years contest. Subjects and themes were lot more serious and defined too, but I still chose to take the challenge and decided to write on "Environment", with focus on Pakistan....
I felt if do not do it this way it will never start or finish.... it seems like pressure works for me,and I thrive on deadlines.... at least its done within time, written , edited, printed and mailed .... results I will leave on NBF , and their choice of time to tell winners.... or not...
