The Little Things

"Movies and magazines,
Filling our heads with dreams.
Love is the little things.
Love changes everything."

--by Pomplamoose, "Little Things"

Life is all about the little things.  You know, about the things that we think we barely notice but that make a big difference.  You notice when they aren't there.  For example, sunshine.  I know the Sun isn't exactly little, but it's not necessarily something you think much about as you go throughout your day.  Yet, when it's been missing a while you really start to notice.  I personally am addicted to sunshine so I notice pretty quickly.
Something someone says could make a big impact on you (for good or for ill) when it was just a passing remark.  Maybe a 15 minute work out will do wonders for someone's outlook on life at the moment.  Perhaps the opportunity to enjoy nature for a few minutes is enough to relax a whole lot.  It might come down to whether or not you got your morning hug from the one you love.  Heck, for a good amount of people I'd bet whether or not there is coffee will make a big difference on a day (though, those people would most likely argue coffee is no small thing).
The celebration of a birthday.  Green lights all the way to work.  A thank you card.  Getting 'your' parking spot.  A good outing with your dog in training.  Having your favorite cereal for breakfast.  A phone conversation with a good friend.  One word from someone.

It's weird how little things can affect you...
