It's the little things

On Monday I took my final for microbiology. I thought it would be a silly gesture to purchase a mini hand sanitizer for my professor. So as I turned in my final, I handed it to him. The smile & laughter that ensued was priceless.

I absolutely love bringing joy into peoples' lives. Whether it be paying someone a compliment or surprising someone with a little trinket that reminded me of him, the reaction is always the same: a large smile forms on the lips & not only that, but if you look closely, the eyes will be smiling too.

That's the part I love most--the look of hope & sincere appreciation that forms in the eyes. The feeling that comes with implanting hope into another's heart is what my heart beats for.
