Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens—these are a few of everyone’s favorite things. In springtime, when the sun peeks through the clouds and warms up your skin, for a moment, you remember why it’s so cool being alive again. It may be oversimplified, but to me, it’s those little moments that help me survive the toughest days. When it seems everything is crumbling around you with your job, your personal life, or your too-small apartment, perhaps one minuscule amazing thing will happen for you. 

Perhaps, you’ll catch all of the green lights on your way home from work. Or maybe, you’ll have a friend stop by unannounced to drop off an iced coffee. Maybe you’ll remember at the last minute that you have leftovers in the fridge when you’re craving an easy dinner. Life is full of moments we often overlook as benign, but if you look at things through a different lens, perhaps you’ll see them for the happiness and the good that lies between the threads of the world fabric. 

Alas, if you look hard enough, life’s little wonders start to become a bit more obvious—and more dazzling.
