Simple things during this time of the year that could make one smile, in no particular order
… first mug of hot
… soft light of dawn, with little noise at the street
… good morning hug from a 2-year-old
… a massage on the back while still wearing telekung right after a solat jemaah
… freshly vacuumed and uncluttered house in the early morning
… winter socks
… comfy futon on a hot carpet
… both kids clinging and hugging the mommy under the futon
… a hot mug of teh tarik on a cold starless night (Boh makes better teh tarik than Brisk, but still..)
… falling yellow, red and brown leaves
… sunny, cheery weekends
… Christmas cards with traditional Japanese arts cover (kabuki, sumo, Hokusai etc)
… reading a book by favorite author undisturbed on the train
… promise of a nengajo from Japanese friends (including the police detective who often visits us)
