I was wondering the other day as I stepped out of the bed with my sprits higher than usual, about what makes a day happy. I figured out that all it takes are few moments of joy, moments when you're at peace with yourself.
It could be the sight of raindrops accumulating on the edge of a leaf or the soft sunlight on your face when you open the door in the morning. The familiar black butterfly with large white spots or the lemon yellow and orange one, or that little squirrel which follows you for a while before running up a tree can have the magical effect of turning a lousy day into a bright one. The smile on a kid's face or his laughter can help you shrug off that bad mood. Nothing like music to make a day. It could be one of your favourites or something you've never heard before, with the power to provide you those moments of bliss. It could be a poem, a quote or a small story. Even that tiny comic strip in the newspaper can do the trick. The memory of a loved one, an old friend or someone special. A phone call, an email or that rare letter, or just a look at that photograph which is right there in front of you, but which you hadn't really noticed for a long time.
I hope you find that little thing today to make you happy. It is out there, just keep your eyes open.
