Short life captions

A line to sit under an ordinary, good day.

Life is what happens over chai.
Small days, big gratitude.
Living, not just passing time.
It's a good life when tea is hot.
Keep going, slowly.
The day was plain and I liked it.
Living this moment, properly.
Life, unfiltered.
Every ordinary day counts.
One step, then another.

A good life is made of good habits and good people.
Patience is a long game, and I'm playing it.
Take the long way. It has better trees.
