The little things truly do make up the masterpiece. As easy as it is to say the little things don't count or that we really need to focus on the big picture, sometimes all we need to focus on is the little things in life that make life great. Little things such as coming home with flowers for you love, making the bed while your significant other gets ready for work even though they said they would be right back to do it, getting them their favorite coffee just because. Small details are just as important as the big ones. At the end of the day, when someone asks you about your significant other you don't talk about the "big stuff" you talk about all the little things they do that make them great and thoughtful.
I know from personal experience one big problem is that when things change it isn't the "big" things, it's all of the little things in-between that once made you fall for that special person. There is no better feeling than seeing your love walk through the door with your favorite flowers, candy bar or walking into the room seeing them putting your laundry away, making the bed, anything just showing they care and they appreciate you.
The next time you think it's the big things that are the "make it or break it", stop and realize what makes all of the make it or break it real. It's all of the small pieces that create the masterpiece.
