Life is full of simple pleasures. Those are the little satisfying effects you never really anticipate, but always take great pleasure in. It is also said that the little things matter the most. Unfortunately, those same little things get ignored the most.
So I am penning down this list so that I can see it again and again and could be reminded how blessed I am especially when I feel down or stuck. This list is not just for my dear readers but more as a reminder for me. A reminder to count my blessings and cheer myself up. A reminder of happiness, a reminder of hope. Note that this list is not in a prioritized manner. So let’s begin.
