What you see that you can rely on, you count them – over and over again to remind yourself how good it is.

The lemons, baby ones, growing on the tree.

Your friends.

Cookies from that baker you enjoy.

Reliable colleagues.

Movies worth watching again.

Holidays that create long weekends.

The stories you can’t stop reading.

Cozy spots to rest.

Impulses to hold hands.

A quiet nod and knowing glance.

This is the stuff that you will enjoy. The enormous joys and the littlest treats – whatever they are, count them and remember. Celebrate and share them with others then they can smile with you, too.
