So I have quite a few happy memories of my childhood, doing nothing really.

I still do it today whenever I am feeling relaxed, even if it's just having a bath or listening to a song I like or enjoying a film with friends. I helps me realize that there are many “moments” in my life in which living is good.

It's not so much the situation, but the ability to enjoy ur current situation whatever it might be.
Take care
