many small pleasures

“If you keep doing lots of small, different pleasurable things, you’ll get more pleasure overall and you’ll feel happier. This is partly why many small pleasures beat fewer larger ones. … Small pleasures also take advantage of the fact that eating twice as much cake in one go isn’t twice as nice. It’s a bit better but not twice as good. It’s certainly much better to have some cake than no cake, but not twice as good to have double the cake.”

nice article about presents, and why we should see to give presents with meaning, value and longevity.

And while our lives have gone very separate ways, my thoughts still go to a young Kerry Fyffe whenever I dig the passport wallet out of the drawer in readiness for the next trip.
