Life is full of unexpected joys. These joys can appear at any time and work wonders. They can make a wonderful season even better or make a rough season easier to manage. Here are a few of these joys that I’ve experienced lately and which have made things a little better for me.
- Receiving thoughtful, unexpected gifts outside of gift-giving holidays
- Hearing a kind compliment about yourself through the grapevine
- Speaking your mind about a difficult subject and having it go over much better than you’d expected
- Receiving sympathy and understanding after revealing a struggle
- Finding out that someone thinks highly of you in ways you didn’t expect
- Having a heart-to-heart with someone you trust
- Having someone show you things they see in you that you don’t see in yourself
- Suddenly discovering a solution to a problem that’s plagued you for years
- Running into a dear friend after recently thinking about them
