And then life is full of some small joys that never cease to make you smile.

• An unprompted hug from your child without asking for one.

• Getting an unexpected call from a friend when it’s not your birthday.

• Discovering a long lost thing unpredictably while cleaning your closet.

• Realizing that you are in someone’s thoughts and prayers always.

• Waking up early on a weekend and discovering you can go back to sleep

• Devouring hot pakoras, made by someone – especially for you on a rainy day.

• Gazing at the dazzling sun high above the clouds while seated in an airplane, when it’s grey and cloudy on the ground.

• Sand swarming from under your feet at the seaside.

• Gazing at the vermillion, golden tinges of sunset, while the sun fades away in the ocean.

• Your child’s hand clasping your finger tightly while he sleeps.

• Finding a fresh new green leaf in your plants.

• Leaning on a welcoming shoulder when watching a movie.
