People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it’s done to (for) me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (“I’m not a big one for paying compliments…”), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself. For a moment life suddenly feels lighter, a bit more Gene Kelly dancing in the rain.”<br/><br/> - <em><p><a href="http://www.openroadmedia.com/jonathan-carroll">Jonathan Carroll</a></p> <p>(via <a
