Learning to Notice
It’s strange how small things can make a day feel different. I’ve been thinking about how closely our happiness is tied to believing in the kindness of others — much more than we tend to assume. You lose your wallet, and somehow it finds its way back to you. Returned by a stranger. Someone you never expected to care. And the happiness that follows makes you glow. It surprises you, simply because you didn’t expect it. There are studies that try to explain this, to measure it, to prove it.
