the simple acts

First of all, let me start out by saying that this blog will not be focused or anything fancy.  I find beauty in the ordinary and I think that's worth sharing. 

I think as a society that glorifies big, elaborate acts, we forget how important the small things are.  How many times have you not done something nice for someone just because it's not fancy? I've done that a million times.  Then, one day I realized that the littlest things that people did for me meant the most.  I felt love when my momma folded my clean laundry, when a stranger opened a door, when an acquaintance smiled at me in the hall, when a friend sent a simple note.  Maybe the difference we make in someone's life doesn't have anything to do with the grandness of the gesture, but with the sincerity of the thought put into the gesture.  Act simply, with great love, and you will find some of the most joy you have ever felt. 

Just some food for thought.
