It's The Little Things

Realizing Your Power

Sometimes a small thing can make a very big impact on someone.  Something as small as a text message, a smile, a hug, can all help someone who is feeling lost.  When my Mother was going through cancer treatments, it was extremely stressful.  But, there are people in my life that I will never forget because they were kind enough to offer encouragement when I was feeling down.  And the funny thing is, they probably didn't even know how much I needed that kind word.  Sometimes the encouragement came in the form of a text.  Sometimes a phone call.  Sometimes an unexpected card came in the mail.  It seems as if the days that I needed them the most, these small gestures really helped me get through a tough day.  I will never forget the kindness that these special people showed me during one of the most difficult times in my life.  I learned a valuable lesson from those gestures.  No matter how small we think sending that text is, or how helpless we feel and all we can do is hug someone, those little things can be priceless to someone else.  So, when you get that urge to reach out to someone, follow it.  It's the little things in life that can make the biggest difference to someone who is struggling.
