Simple Joys

Waking up to the sounds of birds chirping at your window...

Spending a few quiet moments in prayer...

Realizing you have absolutely nothing to "have to do" that whole day...

Eating cilantro with singkamas (turnips) and calamansi (a type of lemon)...

Laughing and listening to family stories...

Having a restful nap...

What was your simple joy today?
