Small Joys

A fork in the road. Go right. Go left. End up at the opposite corner of the universe or in front of where you wanted to be. Or a million other places in between.

Is where you wanted to be, where you are? Or where you should be? How do you decide anything? Be sure about anything? Anything could spin you around, screw up your life. Or would you be happy with what you have, whatever it is? Is contentment the enemy now, in this time and place? Do you stop striving for anything, if you are just happy? Isn't that the point? When do you give up the pursuit of happiness and just Be?

Sometimes, the small joys are what make your life worth it. A mug of coffee first thing in the morning. Discovering a new song. Sunlight behind the clouds. Laughing with your friends. It is and should be. Enough.
