It’s not about who spent more money. It’s not about the number of presents. It’s not about the size of the bow that it’s wrapped in. It’s all about the little things; the smile of a loved one from across a crowded room, a snuggle from a tiny human who crawls into your lap, the nudge from a cold nose of a pup.

These little things are like tiny brushstrokes that suggest a highlight or a shadow. They are just colors on a canvas pushed around until they turn into a solid form that you can understand. These little things are small events in our lives, but they get us through the tough times. It's important to hold onto them and build on each one until you start to see the bigger picture.
