It Doesn't Take Much

It doesn't take much to make someone happy. It doesn't take much to have a good day. It is the simple things that make the difference. Yesterday I baked an apple pie for a co worker. Her birthday was over the weekend and her first day back to work was Tuesday. Her face lit up when she saw the pie in a round aluminum pan. It was a bit scraggly looking, but to her it was wonderful. She was so excited. We started to discuss the small things that matter. The one thing we all agreed upon was a smile. As simple as it sounds, if you smile, someone smiles back. Even a baby will follow your lead. When people say they had a bad day, I wonder how much negative energy they themselves added to it.
