The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions - the little, soon forgotten charities of a kiss or a smile, a kind look or heartfelt compliment.

Most of what makes a life feel good arrives in pieces too small to notice at the time. A smile held a second longer, a compliment said out loud instead of only thought, a look that tells someone you are glad they walked in. None of it feels like an event while it is happening. Added up over years, it is most of what people remember about being near you.

Pick one small kindness you usually leave unsaid and say it today. Do not save it for a better moment or a larger occasion. The frequency matters more than the size.
