Little things that make life beautiful...
Cats being really affectionate with you (by the way, that cat was back again today, still affectionate as ever... he is now unofficially named "Struscio", from the Italian verb "strusciarsi" which means "to rub oneself against something"... guess why ;). Singing along to a song you love, at the top of your lungs, even if it's midnight and you risk waking up neighbours. Chocolate. Finding friends in the oddest places. Having a hard time singing at choir rehearsal because you're laughing too damn hard, because there's masked people being silly because it's carnival week, and everybody's laughing and you just feel happy. Being greeted with a smile and a hug and a "where have you been? We missed you" after skipping choir rehearsal once. Knowing that, despite what it may look and sound and feel like, things really do turn out to be okay most of the time.
