I quickly packed a lunch to be eaten on the run and felt like a king.  I had a sandwich (rye bread) smeared with strawberry rhubarb jam.  Included also was a ripe Anjoi pear, a banana and I filled a liter bottle with apple cider.  I felt very grateful I had all that to bring with me.  Life is full of many small pleasures.

It was a small discovery but it gave me some joy:  my rubber tree in the office started sprouting new leaves.  It responded to my giving it more water.  It is a warm room and I was tickled pink to see the new growth.  Each day now I check it and can see the discernible growth.  Life is composed of many small pleasures.  This was just one.
