Sometimes, it really is just about the small things.
The littlest compliment that you gave your co-worker this morning may have been the one that made his or her day. The quick hello, the smile, and the attention that you gave someone you met along the hallway may have been the ego-boost that he or she needed. The empathic nod that you made while listening to a friend may have been the life saver that nobody bothered to give.
And you never even broke a sweat doing so.
Sometimes, the smallest things are those that really count.

My sympathy goes to the families of the Chinese tourists that were held hostage by that demented cop yesterday at the Quirino Grandstand. I apologize as all I can do was sigh.
