The Daily Question

What small thing makes
a day feel like yours?

Some days belong to other people.

The school run, the work, the appointments, the messages that need answering. By evening it can feel as though you were only ever a passenger in it.

But most people have one small thing that pulls it back. The first cup of tea before anyone else is up. Ten minutes in the car with the radio before going in. A walk round the block. The crossword. A particular chair.

It is rarely anything you would put on a list of achievements. It is just the part of the day that is yours.

So — what small thing makes a day feel like yours?
