the little things...

its the little things that make life so big...

im sitting at tal's and i find this book the little things. i had bought it for her for valentine's day, but had forgotten about it until i picked it up and realized once again how amazing the compilation of quotes were..

top five picks:

6. the kindness of strangers:

7. feeling compassion:
