Optimism.

All it takes is one little detail. Just one.

A minor gesture. A word. A detail.

To change someone's day.

Smile. Laugh. "Good morning". You look really good today. "How are you?" Wait for the answer. See with your eyes - observe and notice! A hug. A kiss on the forehead. Holding someone's hand - a squeeze. Five minutes to give all your attention to someone else. A shared moment. Music. Dance. Stories. A question where the answer interests you. The choice to sit in the chair next to them. A letter. A note. An invitation to coffee. A lasting look. Amazing. Beautiful. Exciting. Make plans - see a film. Go on a date where there doesn't have to be a romantic reason. An acknowledgment of things of beauty. The sun is shining. Show affection. Make someone a coffee. Breakfast. A gift. Surprise! Thank you. Honestly. Truly. Without a hint of sarcasm.

Optimism isn't unattainable. It can start with a smile. Brighten someone's day.

All it takes is one detail...
