cheering charms

Ten reasons to smile en route home:

1. Squirrels Tree shrews.

2. A gorgeous sky.

3. Successfully avoiding a big puddle.

4. Wind.

5. Overtaking cars stuck in the after-school jam.

6. Spotting fruits on trees that have, to date, never produced any before.

7. A fun song to sing.

8. Amusing conversations with myself*.

9. Noticing random (and sometimes funny) things**.

And the best cheering charm of them all:-
10. Friends who wave as they pass in their cars.


*I'm dead serious about this.
**Like the squashed mango I nearly trod on.
