It is the little things that get you A smile when deserved A hug when needed Little things are bigger than big things Especially when they are offered By a stranger From afar comes the loveliness Wrapped in gentle And caring Little things ~*~ Tell me whom you love, and I will tell you who you are.--Houssaye ~*~ |

This is so true, Jerry, and I love how you expressed this profound truth. Recently I was waiting my turn at the post office and felt my patience growing thin, so my face was grim ... Then suddenly my eyes caught the smile of a young girl sitting next to me. She seemed to encourage me "be patient" ... Unbelievable how that warm smile changed my attitude and really really permeated my whole being. A little thing? And yet a precious gift indeed. M |

I hear ya, jwesley, and like when I order a Big Buford at Rallys and I open it up and it looks like it looks on the advertisements. I know of where they do that, amazing, never thought I would see it. Little thing, like doing it right mean much. ~*~ Tell me whom you love, and I will tell you who you are.--Houssaye ~*~ |

No sense rubbing the warm and mushy stuff in, Michael, I'm embarrassed enough as it 'tis. ~*~ Tell me whom you love, and I will tell you who you are.--Houssaye ~*~ |
