Little Things

Paula tossed me a Honey Herb Ricola. Pleased, I unwrapped it and soon enjoyed its soothing flavor. I crumpled the wrapper and almost threw it away. I stopped. I uncrumpled it and smoothed it out. I looked at it, a little thing, but amazing. First, the paper was made, sized, and cut to protect the cough drop. Then, the paper coating which was designed to protect and preserve the cough drop. Finally, the picture of the herbs in full color, and “honey herb” written in four languages informed me of its contents. Big things are easy to be impressed with, but how much better, safer, and happier are we because of the little things in life.
