The Little Things

"In relationships, the big things are the little things" - Covey.

(1) little things like open the car door (our first car)

The little kindnesses and courtesies are so important. Small discourtesies, little unkindnesses, little forms of disrespect make large emotional withrawals.

I would like to share the lyrics of a favorite song of mine, "Always on My Mind" sung by Willie Nelson. It is a rather sad country song which reminds us not to take our loved one for granted... little things we should have said and done, but we just never took the time. Although they may be on our mind, it is still better to do the little things to confirm and reassure our loved ones that they are indeed on our mind, always.

(2) little things like buying her flowers

Little things I should have said and done

I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

(3) little things like giving her a surprise card

Maybe I didn't treat you

Quite as good as I should have

Maybe I didn't love you

Quite as often as I could have

.

(4) little things like going on a picnic (s'pore zoo)

Little things I should have said and done

I just never took the time

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

(5) little things like a simple BBQ (our first one at UDMC chalet)

Maybe I didn't hold you

All those lonely, lonely times

And I guess I never told you

I'm so happy that you're mine

If I made you feel second best

Girl I'm so sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

.
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died

Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied, satisfied

.

Follow-up:

So, what are you waiting for? Go and tell your loved one that he (she) is always on your mind. Hold him (her). Make him (her) feel that he (she) is the best, not second best. Take every chance to keep him (her) satisfied. Treat him (her) good. Love him (her) well. Little things you should have said and done. Take the time now to do it, before it is too late.
