"What makes you feel special?"

So often you might think that you have to do something extravagant to express your love or make someone feel special. But it’s usually the little things that happen day-by-day that go the farthest in creating those special feelings.

For instance, a friend shared a story with me through our website at www.listentolife.org. He’s an author and was doing an outdoor book signing. A couple came to his table and they visited long enough for him to discover that the couple had been married for a while and had children in college. He says they seemed so comfortable and content with one another.

The husband stepped away from the table for a few moments and left his wife at the table to visit longer with my friend. When the husband returned, he said, “You should thank me. I just left you alone with the nicest person I know.”
The couple walked away holding hands.

It really is the seemingly little, everyday kind of things that create the greatest intimacy in life. So don’t worry about expensive gifts or fancy trips. Focus instead on everyday gifts as you listen to life and make a life today.
