The Little Things

I have always promoted "The Little Things" as the things that make life a little sweeter and the day a little brighter. It is usually the little things that matter most to me [and most women I know] in dating and marriage. For example, the other day my sister was beaming while showing me a note that her BF Greg had left on her dresser or somewhere. It was a plain lined piece of paper, turned sideways, with a note written in pencil "I LOVE YOU KELLIE" with a little side note slanted up to the right that read "till the end." That little gesture made her heart fill up.

But little things can be done for friends, too. They are not always man/woman things.

Today, I received a "little thing" from a good friend and coworker Melissa. She actually called me to ask if I could use a couple of coupons she clipped out for John's Incredible Pizza. "DUH!" I told her! So, she sent them up to me via interoffice mail. But the coupons were not what made my day. The package they came in did.

She actually printed out that picture of E.T. (get it, E.T.? hehe) and taped it to the envelope. It probably took her all of 2 minutes, but the thought of it is just so cool. She wanted to make me laugh, and she definitely did, and I love 'er!

I also paid it forward this evening when I left a little "love note" on each of the boys' pillows...just a ripped up piece of paper with "I love you Ethan" and "I love you Brenden" written in a couple colored pencils that were laying around. :)
