The Kindness of Small Gestures

"Small gestures can have a big impact."
~ Julianna Margulies

Sometimes it's the littlest things that make us smile.  I recently took my children and a couple of their friends to lunch.  The children sat down first and the only chair left for me was at the head of the table, where I didn't want to sit (who knows why).  I said that I didn't want to sit at the head of the table and before I could ask one of my children to trade with me, one of their friends got up and sat at the head.  It was a little thing and I easily could have sat at the head of the table, but I was touched by this teenager's willingness to honor my preference.
