it's the little things...

i have always enjoyed "the little things"

those little things that people do for you...that lets you know...they are thinking of you and only you...that they care about you...that you matter...

those little things that let you know...that someone is listening to you...and validating your feelings...

i once dated a boy...i had told him in passing that late at nite when i would get home...my porch was dark...laughing at how sometimes it took me a few seconds to find the door knob...a week later...he gave me a little gift...and in it...was a key chain that had a little light...
the little things...thanks b...

or when i sick...and my doorbell rings...with a care package of chicken soup and medicine...
the little things...thanks p...

or when i was needing some help moving big stuff (i'm a girl after all) and without hesitation...my friend says he will be right over...
the little things...thanks s...

i could go on and on...of times...people have shown me love...by doing little things for me...to somehow make my day a little brighter...

and the truth is...that although these acts are called "the little things"...in fact...they end up being big things...because it all stems from someone in your life...caring enough to help you out with stuff...or just to let you know...hey you matter...and i wanted to let you know...or even better...i was just thinking about you...and wanted you to know...

and because i have been the recipient of so many "little things" moments...and knowing how it feels...i have strived to give back in that way...always...

today's "little thing" was a post on facebook...simple...but warming...

a friend wrote about himself..."he is packing for a trip to ca. to close a deal and see a beautiful woman"
the little things...

what "the little things" have taught me...is not to take anything for granted...and how it takes very little other than a little bit of effort and thought...to let those that you care for...know just that...that they are important to you...and that you are listening to them...

so today...i challenge you...do something little for someone you care for...
it's "the little things" that make this world a better place...
and you just never know...if your "little" act of kindness...may be just what that person needs today...
