Good moods don't have to wait for someone else to give them — you can create them yourself.
Perilla is a plant with a distinctive fragrance, often found in cooking and in traditional herbal culture.
A lady had been feeling low lately.
She had planned to stay home, turning the unhappy things over and over in her mind, but then decided to go out and buy groceries instead.
She bought ingredients she liked and went home to cook a perilla dish.
Chopping, washing, breathing in the fragrance — slowly, her mood changed along with it.
She suddenly realized there are so many small things in life she can choose again for herself.
You don't have to wait until every problem is solved to start enjoying today.
Find your own joy, rest your heart in comfort, and return yourself to a state you love.
