The gentle rhythm of the waves lapping against the shore filled Leo's ears as he sipped his morning coffee on his balcony, the vast expanse of the ocean stretching before him. He’d just finished his morning swim and felt refreshed and alive. He felt an intense appreciation for the simplicity of his life.

His mail was mundane, until he found it – a card, addressed to him, but unsigned. Inside the card was a drawing of the sun rising over the sea, accompanied by the simple phrase: "Celebrate another beautiful day!"

He picked up his coffee cup and walked back towards his apartment, the card in his hand. He glanced at the card and then at the view. He knew he'd do just that.
