What brings joy to your day?

What brings joy to your day? Do you create special moments that make you feel happy?

What brings joy to my day isn’t anything specific. In fact, it’s never the same but it’s always the little things, the little moments that make me smile. Lately, it’s been heading out into the garden – whether the front or the back garden to look at my plants – just looking at them would make me forget the horrible moments from before.

Like yesterday, when I called a customer at work to discuss some issues. Without hearing my side of things, the customer jumped the gun and started yelling at me. Honestly, I’ve been on the other side of the conversation. I was not angry at the customer service agent, I was frustrated and let my anxiety get the better of me. It does not feel good being on the side of the customer service agent.

I felt shaken after the call. Though it was not as bad as when Mom scolded me about some annoying thing because those conversations were just annoying, my mood still got soured. It made me not want to work. So I decided to step into the back garden, walk around, check on the plants, and soon enough, I found myself smiling when I saw the blooming daffodils and my lily bulbs were popping up from the ground.

I think anything can bring joy to my day but I can always count on finding those moments in the garden.
