People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it’s done to (for) me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (“I’m not a big one for paying compliments…”), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself. For a moment life suddenly feels lighter, a bit more Gene Kelly dancing in the rain.”””<br/><br/> - <em>Jonathan Carroll (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://themilkywhiteway.tumblr.com/">themilkywhiteway</a>)</em>http://cfortin888.tumblr.com/post/53205269588http://cfortin888.tumblr.com/post/53205269588Mon, 17 Jun 2013 13:07:51 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/db66c29cf1de838f3ca34b2612bbea73/tumblr_mnue397bp61qfcx4to4_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/880b38035a3c16bc59018da37bc82c24/tumblr_mnue397bp61qfcx4to1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7409cc8d1287fbdfa9928bb07f0be0d6/tumblr_mnue397bp61qfcx4to2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/dca6b4960eeac631db3404beaf4fdf13/tumblr_mnue397bp61qfcx4to3_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d1525503958f48d574bea8376cc0c02d/tumblr_mnue397bp61qfcx4to6_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/1e4ee4a260cfa3aaecd56a10cde9c2f0/tumblr_mnue397bp61qfcx4to5_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/24a80f0afb6fb3a6bc118a0cfd867d33/tumblr_mnue397bp61qfcx4to7_250.gif"/><br/> <br/>http://cfortin888.tumblr.com/post/53205216805http://cfortin888.tumblr.com/post/53205216805Mon, 17 Jun 2013 13:07:01 -0400
