Life’s Little Presents Sometimes it’s the little things in life that can make a difference. Someone holds the door for you as you enter a building. A stranger (nicely and innocently) smiles at you for no reason. A friend calls you. Someone treats you to lunch. A happy card arrives in the mail. You find a dress, purse or shoes on sale at an incredible price. ( I always love this!) Someone actually listens to you.
