Little things excite me. Some people think it’s silly, but I can’t help it. Sometimes some of the tiniest gestures make my day. Today has been one of those days when many small things have made for a great day.
I’ll give you an example.
We met with some friends who are in town visiting family for lunch. I had a Greek Salad, which was fantastic, but it was chocked full of purple onions, one of the few onions that I’ll actually eat raw. Afterwards, it left me with some serious ‘onion breath’, and no one had gum or peppermint. As we were walking along from store to store after lunch, I figured I’d stop in somewhere and pick me up a pack of gum or something- anything to get rid of the dreaded ‘onion breath’, but while I was picking up a birthday gift for Marcel’s neice, Desere came inside the store and handed me a peppermint. I’d told her I wanted to get something, and while I was doing that, she picked some up.. Wheww! bad breath averted.
It’s tiny- I know- but it made me smile, and it was something she didn’t have to do, but she did anyway, and it meant a great deal to me- so THANKS Desere 🙂
Another thing- Tonia had two individual servings of hazelnut coffee cream that she gave me when she heard that I liked it. You can’t find it here, and she’d bought a box to bring with her ‘just in case’, and she’d been carrying those in her purse. Granted- it’s only two little servings of flavored coffee cream, but when you love it and can’t get it- it’s something to make a girl smile- or at least this one.
See what I mean? Those little things bring a smile to my face, lift my spirits and make me SMILE!
What about you? What little things have happened today to bring a smile to YOUR face?
