While finding a pencil may not resonate with us grownups, perhaps the smell of a fresh cup of coffee or the sound of a child’s giggle might. The simple pleasures of everyday life are all around us. Just because the clock was set back does not mean we have to follow suit. Look around, enjoy your day and ask yourself what happiness is to you.
