What are some examples of happy moments you can think of? Something simple, often unexpected, but suddenly filling your heart with joy?

It could be discovering a new delicious food while traveling abroad, or tasting a drink you instantly fall in love with. It might be an interesting movie or series you didn’t expect to enjoy so much, or an inspiring book that stays with you long after you finish it. Maybe it’s coming across a perfect piece of clothing that fits just right, as if it was made for you. Or something even simpler - like a good night’s sleep, after which you wake up well rested, peaceful, and genuinely happy.

One unexpected moment of joy I often think about was when we decided to meet with Norbi in Paris. That October day was truly beautiful. The city greeted us with soft sunlight, making the surroundings appear joyful and light. We arrived on Friday afternoon and met at the train station.

Of course, we were looking forward to seeing each other - that alone was special. But what made it even more memorable was the funny surprise that we had both chosen trench coats for the trip, without any prior planning. When we met and realized it at the same time, we couldn’t stop smiling. It was such a small detail, and yet it felt so perfectly aligned - as if our thoughts had quietly met before we did. It just felt so nice, so natural, and so us.

Maybe noticing moments like these is exactly what makes us truly happy. Not the big, dramatic events, but those little unexpected synchronizations that remind us we are connected - to people, to places, to life itself.

We grabbed coffee and croissants and went to sit outside, talking and catching up on everything that had happened since we last saw each other. Afterwards, we walked along the Seine, enjoying the beginning of the weekend together and anticipating the lovely time ahead. And it was exactly like that - we enjoyed strolling through the streets, tasting macarons, admiring the views of Montmartre, and even trying traditional French berets. It was so much fun!
