Some moments don’t need words. Sitting at my desk, my wife’s toes gently touch mine beneath it—a quiet connection, effortless and unspoken. In that fleeting, ordinary moment, I find something extraordinary.
One night, we poured glasses of a nearly empty bottle of port wine, one we picked up in Porto last February. Huan usually avoids sugary things, yet this wine became an exception—a shared indulgence, a surprise delight. As the last sips approach, I don’t wish for more wine. I wish for more moments like this.
We spend so much of our lives chasing achievements, plans, and the next big thing. But the most fulfilling parts are often in the pauses, in the quiet, in simply being present.
Thank you, Huan, for reminding me that slowing down isn’t just necessary—it’s beautiful. ❤️
What’s one simple pleasure in your life that you wish you could bottle up and keep forever?
