Nothing beats the solace of sipping on a warm cup of coffee by a window, while reading a book on a rainy day, or listening to the same song over and over again, or touch of cool night breeze, caressing on the face, or walking barefoot on moist grass, or warmth of a blanket on a cold winter night, or watching the dew settle on a cold glass on a hot summer afternoon. These simple joys play get embedded in our thoughts as memories and every time we encounter similar images we tend to go back to these snippets of our lives because of the memories associated with them.
