Small is Big

“LOVE, like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with a soaking joy. But sometimes, under the angry heat of life, love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending to its roots, keeping itself alive.” (Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven)

Don’t get lost in the hustle and bustle of life. Sometimes, we’re too busy with our own stuff – most are actually very licit and good but they take up our entire energy... leaving nothing (or very little) for those who should matter the most.

With the passage of time (for some, it’s all about climbing the corporate ladder) ... we could simply be aiming for big things, forgetting the value of the little ones.

But small details show how much we truly love ... it's how affection is warmly felt. Give it attention ... because our loved ones do. It’s one sure way to keep love burning. The moment we start missing out on these little details, very soon love starts to be cold. And before we know it, even the embers have disappeared.

As the Hershey’s ad goes, “big things come in small packages.”
