For everything else, there's Mastercard

• Waking up when you're ready and not to an alarm clock.

• Having an action movie marathon.

• Finishing a good book.

• Realizing you can pump two lbs more than last week.

• Putting on a sun dress after a hot shower.

• Catching the express train home.

• Tea and biscuits at 4pm.

• Starting a good book.

• Steamed dumplings and strawberries for dinner.

• Getting past all the math sections in your G.R.E. study guide.

• Knowing there's ice cream in your fridge.

• Finally having your wireless internet working.

• Knowing you're going to see someone you love tomorrow.

• Going to bed tired but not exhausted.

It's the simple things in life that bring me the most joy.
