Twelve Small Things to Be Excited About

Big joy is expensive and rare. Small joy is constant and mostly ignored.

The list

1. A book you have not opened yet.

2. The first cold evening of the year.

3. A recipe you have never tried.

4. Someone replying faster than expected.

5. A film everyone says will wreck you.

6. Clean sheets on the right night.

7. A walk down a street you have never taken.

8. Finishing something you kept postponing.

9. A friend saying "I have news."

10. Rain while you are indoors.

11. Learning one useless, beautiful fact.

12. Tomorrow, which has not made any mistakes yet.

Use it

Pick one. Do it this week. Excitement grows where it is given a schedule.
