Maybe ...

 Earl Grey Day by Lucy Almey-Bird

Maybe the real happy ending is falling in love with the simplest parts of life.

Maybe it’s savouring that first sip of coffee in the morning, or losing yourself in the smell of freshly baked bread from home or the bakery, or even the bakery section at the back of the supermarket.

Maybe it’s driving down familiar roads with the car windows down, letting the wind mess up your hair while your favourite song fills the car. Taking longer than usual to reach your destination.

Maybe it’s relaxing on a quiet afternoon, reading the pages of a book you’ve put off for far too long. Or one that you've read a hundred times before, letting each word wrap around you like an old friend.

It's these moments ... the ones that seem so ordinary ... that hold a kind of magic that fills the cracks that we sometimes forget are there.

And maybe, just maybe, it’s finding moments of joy in the small things that we often take for granted. The laughter that comes out of nowhere, shared with a stranger in the supermarket or at the bus stop.

Or the quiet relaxing comfort of a cosy night at home, wrapped up in a blanket on the sofa, watching a show you’ve seen a hundred times before but that still brings a smile to your face.

It’s these little things that pull us back to life, that remind us of just how blessed we are, not because everything is perfect but because we find beauty in what we already have.
