The smallest things go a long way.

I am forever grateful for the friends I have that are willing to go out of their way to help me.

While it's so easy for me to feel disappointed when friends let me down (and usually over something trivial - one of my many flaws that I'm working on), I tend to forget how so many people willingly extend help when I do need a hand or are just there for me without my asking.

Reminder to self: focus and remember the positive, rather than dwelling on the negative.

Just today -

My friend taught me how to get to KL, so I wouldn't get lost when I really do need to go to KL. He could have easily lent his GPS to me (which he also did) but he wanted to calibrate it for me and key in the respective coordinates so it would be easier for me to get to the places I wanna go.

Or the friend who printed something for me after I tweeted for a favour. We're not even close (barely exchange two words when we do hang out) but he extended his help since he lives within the vicinity of my neighbourhood.

And when I think about it, I am lucky enough to be able to count my blessings every single day for all the little things in my life.

How my girlfriend walks me to my car to make sure I'm safe and reminds me to text her when I reach home, how my best friend always asks me what I feel like eating when it's supper time and then orders just that because he knows I like stealing his food, how my friend dropped by my house with all the Big Bang Theory episodes because I don't have them nor do I know how to download them, so on and so forth.

It doesn't have to be something big because all the small things, they touch my heart and make me smile :)
