Today, I am grateful for a quiet, rainy afternoon in Chongqing spent at a small, cozy café. The rain outside fell softly against the windows, wrapping the city in a misty calm. Inside, the warmth of the café felt comforting, like a little pocket of peace in the middle of the bustling city.
I ordered a creamy café latte, and shared a slice of cheesecake with my hubby. As we sat there, sipping coffee and watching people walk by with their umbrellas, I felt deeply content. There was no rush, no schedule, just the simple joy of being present.
I thought about how lucky we are to be able to travel, to experience new places together, and to have the time to slow down and enjoy these small, beautiful moments. Sometimes happiness is found not in grand adventures, but in quiet afternoons like this, where the world outside moves gently and everything feels right.
Today, I am thankful for warmth, love, good coffee, and the gift of being here — together, in the rain.
