Ordinary Happiness: My Way of Life After Half a Century

On my way to work this morning.

At a crosswalk without traffic lights, an adult with long hair came jogging out from a side street.

Thinking they might want to cross, I stepped on the brakes.

The person looked back and beckoned. A child wearing a yellow school backpack came running from behind.

The two of them jogged across the crosswalk together. The adult going first—presumably the mother—gave me a slight bow, and the child following behind did the same.

I had only done what was expected, yet I felt a heartwarming and happy sensation.

What a happy scene that was.

I want to continue finding true happiness in the ordinary things of daily life.

Today is the elementary school closing ceremony.
