"Despise not small things, either for evil or good, for a look may work thy ruin, or a word create thy wealth. A spark is a little thing..."

"Despise not small things, either for evil or good, for a look may work thy ruin, or a word create thy wealth. A spark is a little thing, yet it may kindle the world." - Martin Farquhar Tupper

It is often the "little" things that make the difference. The smile when you least expect. And extra little effort by a salesperson. A pat on the back or compliment from a colleague or lover/friend. A small, silly gift not needed or wanted but left with care and love...a surprise. Breakfast in bed. A kiss. An embrace. A call out of the blue...

All of these things can add up to a delightful moment or day or life. How much power we all have to do so much with so little effort. So go the extra little step. Give a little more. Say something nice. Make a compliment. Shake someone's hand and smile. Be real...honest...caring. It makes a BIG difference!
