Author Cyndie Spiegel through a compenium of short stories drawn from her own life, preaches the power of what she calls microjoys, the little joys in life that one must practise being awake to. Because life is full of little moments that can bring us joy, like the fallen leaves, the taste of tea, the smile on someones face , a gift , a thank you, mothers home cooking ... all of these joys must be celebrated but are easily passed over when we fail to be alive to them. Through her own life, its highs and many lows, the author shares with us her moments of joy, and tells us of twh value of living and apprecaiting the prsesnt moment and how it brings her hope even in the darkest of moments.
