Life is full of ups and downs. During an up period you can indeed enjoy all the beauty around you. And in a down period you should strive to reach the previous period again. In short, Sanja's story is completely correct.

As you say, it is indeed in the difficult moments that (enjoying) the little things can make a big difference.

“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.” - Marcus Aurelius This is inspirational, simple and so true AND yet such a challenge for our busy human brains. This is the sort of essay/article to read again and again over a week and I think I will notice something different each time. Thank you for collating these words.
