It's the Little Things...

We've all heard the saying as kids, "it's the little things" that count. As teens and young adult you learn that relationships are built on "the little things." As a consumer of goods in a global society, we look for businesses who take that extra step by providing "the little things."



Such a simple phrase, but the reality is simply that the little things amount to a whole lot.



I am priveleged to connect with a wide range of friends through Twitter. Some, I may see in my lifetime, others, I may never come across  @cherylsmith999, or Cheryl Smith of CultureSmith Consulting is one of those friends who I deeply respect.



When Cheryl sought help with one of her posts, I gladly obliged by offering my suggestion via Twitter. She approved and I jokingly told her I charged royalty fees. For every click I should receive 10 cents. It was a simple joke, but weeks later I get a card from her with a personalized message and two coins attached to the card. I laughed thinking of a friend who took the time to remember my joke, and then send me a card.



Think about how you communicate with those you've become friends with. Could we not all learn from something as simple as a card in the mail?



Because ultimately, "it's the little things" that mater most, is it not?

I remember the "little things" from many people: a handwritten note, well-timed visit or phone call, just the right questions about my family. In reality, the little things are what matter - day in and day out.

Your post is reminding me to be intentional today, with a few little things with the people who matter most in my life - my family. I'll let you know how it goes.
