gestures.

" I firmly believe in small  g e s t u r e s

pay for their coffee
hold the door for strangers
over tip

smile or try to be kind
even when you don’t feel like it

pay compliments

chase the kid’s runaway ball down the sidewalk
and throw it back to him

try to be larger than you are
particularly when it’s difficult


People do notice
people  a p p r e c i a t e 

I appreciate it when it’s done to (for) me

Small gestures can be an  e f f o r t
or actually go against our grain

but the irony is that
almost every time you make them
you feel  b e t t e r  about yourself

For a moment
life suddenly feels  l i g h t e r

a bit more Gene Kelly dancing in the rain. "
