I love this quote. It really explains how beauty is not all outward appearance and a beautiful personality is really what makes a person so wonderful.
This weekend I was fortunate enough to spend the weekend with my older sister who is currently a sophomore in college. It was the first time I had seen her in two months so it was exciting when I heard the news that she was coming home. We went to the Olive Garden the night she arrived home and then went shopping for the "perfect" senior dinner dance for me. It was a very long after noon finding that dress, but she was very patient and helpful. Although I may not have found my perfect dress, I still had a great afternoon reminiscing on old embarrassments together and family trips. It really made me realize how much I miss her. I believe that family time is very special and I now want to spend more time getting to know my family and extended family.
This whole weekend made me realize how important all the relationships are in life. Also, it made me realize how little gestures can mean so much more than extravagant gifts. Here are a few ideas for little gestures to brighten someone else's day.
Figure out someone's half birthday and surprise them with a cake!
Put a dime in someone's meter before their time expires
Repeat something nice you heard about someone else
Pay for a strangers coffee without them knowing
Leave a joke on someone's answering machine
Hug a friend or family member for no reason
Brush the snow off a car next to yours
Tell someone that you believe in them
Buy someone a goldfish and bowl
Buy someone a goldfish and bowl
Leave a waitress a big tip
