Five things for happiness

Daily writing prompt
What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?

This is the most WordPress prompt ever.

I know because I have been writing for a while on here and I have written for numerous prompts that are a variation of this. So, this was not my first choice, my first choice was writing about the first thought that captures my fingers as I turn to WordPress, because I have been writing for a while, thanks to a writing challenge by a community of bloggers. So, I need to turn in a short story by April 21st, and I haven’t been so excited about writing since I drew and wrote about falling in love a second time with Studio Ghibli– so not longer than a week.

I also gave someone a piece of my mind as comeuppance for belly shaming me, so that’s another thing that absolutely enjoyed today. Since that encounter I have created a slew of witty comebacks for the next time, because my body is not someone’s moot point.

I also have gotten addicted to caring for my balcony garden. Something that I always performed with the same expression as Johnny Depp’s Willy Wonka, but I have learned to be more loving and patient with time.

Then of course there’s making the perfect cup of masala chai- something that I always struggled with but thanks to an Instagram reel by a bunch if five- year- olds, I learned to make the perfect cup of tea and have turned into a bit of an addict.
