Little Things

Miss Prim sipped her tea and nestled down into the store room armchair. She too believed in the value of the little things.  Her first coffee in the morning drunk from her Limoges porcelain cup.  Sunlight filtering through the shutters of her room, casting shadows on the floor.  Dozing off over a book on a summer's afternoon.  The look in the children's eyes when they told you about some fact they'd just learned.  It was from the little things that the big ones were made, it definitely was.
