Its the little things, people.

In one's life, there are several thousand little things that occur on a minute-ly basis.

Little things; like an extra onion in your stew, a simple 'thank you' , a friend's birthday remembered, a small compliment paid to somebody who doesn't get them too often, a little gesture of friendship.

Small things; like remembering your dad doesn't like tuna and so you never eat it when he's around, adding several garlic cloves to your soup (believe me, it makes a HUGE difference), knowing a friend's likes and dislikes, saying 'please.

All these things occur so often we don't even know that they do sometimes. Its the smallest of gestures that make the difference. And it is even more unlikely that we actually take our time to appreciate these small gestures.

How often do we actually sit down, think about the small things someone has done for us or we have done for someone? Not very often.

And yet, these small things always make your day just a little better. Because chances are, when you actually take the time to notice, it always make you feel warmer; if just only a little.

Sometimes, it's the littlest of things.

So go on and do a small nice thing for someone today. :)
