Last week, I had to reschedule and then cancel a hotel reservation due to illness. In my case, learning to make ghee from scratch and investing in an electric kettle have been small additions that have made 2017 a little nicer. It’s easy to boil it down to a bullet list of (too few) major highs and (too many) lows. If you look hard enough and think small enough, there was likely plenty of good in your 2017– micro moments of joy and connection, little habits or tiny improvements, novel new discoveries. These little things tend to be overshadowed when we reflect on the last 12 months and undervalued when we make plans for the year to come, but, sometimes, especially considered against otherwise tough years, they can make all the difference.
