Today a boy gave me a cookie.
It was a simple gesture.
He said he wanted to brighten my day so he went out during lunch and bought me a cookie.
Yes, this happened in front of others and was slightly embarrassing (and I wanted to hide).
But it caught me off guard. And made me feel kind of awkward. In a good way. Like when Bryan Sturt gave me a 25 cent ring during recess in fourth grade and I blushed, looked slightly angry (clear foreshadowing) and then followed my mother around the house for 4 hours after school showing it off.
This small gesture did big things. It lifted my mood and put some momentarily stress-related things in perspective.
In today’s world, with busy and busier schedules, and random stress arising from strange pokes on Facebook and full dates over text message, sometimes the simple gesture goes a long way.
After all, it’s the small things. Right?
Apparently, all it takes is a cookie.
Awesome.
the little things make all the difference! i really like that the cookie is called “chocolate chipper” – I feel like that name is very fittng.
I agree. I sort of laughed to myself when I saw that… and then wondered if he chose that one on purpose. haha
Sweet, yummy and awesome in every way:-) Truly inspiring and smile inducing – thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you!!! Your comment made my morning!
It’s amazing how much someone doing something so small can just brighten your entire day 🙂 I’m a big fan of “just because!”
I completely agree. “Just because” is a great notion!!
The little things in life can make the biggest difference.
