All The Small Things

A lot of times we tend to over look the small things. I'm as guilty of this as the next guy, but after a few events in the last week I realize that the small things really can make a huge difference. Speaking from personal experience a smile and a friendly wave in the hallway can really make an impact in someones life. Most, if not all of us really don't consider a wave a difference maker but it really can be. A text or email from family members and friends, a short wall post on facebook, all of these things that really seem insignificant at the time, may just bring a smile to a person's face and change the outlook for that day. Often on our news channels acts of heroism are given great attention, while the small little "random acts of kindness" go unnoticed. But just because they go unnoticed by some doesn't mean the go unnoticed by all. This last Saturday I was watching some college football and a commercial came on that I have seen many times. It's an ad  for an insurance company. And in the commercial a lady stops a man (who was texting) from walking out into the middle of a busy city street. This act of kindness was witnessed by a person who then helped a lady with a stroller off of a city bus and the cycle continued until it eventually got back to the lady who had first stopped the man from walking in the street. Many times we don't consider the effects of our actions unless they are one negative, or two very significant. However we never know when a little small smile could change a persons day, and in turn, possibly even their life.
