Since it went okay last week, I'll try another Friday night question:

I've been remeniscing a lot lately about things that people have done for me in the past that showed that they cared, paying particular attention to what actions made the biggest impact in my life and whether it was over time or immediate. Just some reflection to get to know myself better. So my question is...

What is something special someone had done for you that changed your world in a positive way?

For me, the most impactful things have often been small things:

- A like or a smile, even a nod.

- showing up

- letting me know I was seen/heard

I've found larger gestures are more for the other person, as forms of self-validation.

I can tell you that almost every horrible event that I have been through could have been made much less horrible by things as simple as these.

Well said, especially the last part. A little humility goes a long way.
