Stories Collected While Living in France
The small details of how we live our lives measure large. Isn’t it true that you can getting a feeling about a person in how they shake your hand, or look into your eye? Wouldn’t you agree that generosity of spirit can be seen in how someone smiles?
It is in such small details that speak of who we are.
photo: Little bits of scraps I found in the bottom of a box. I bundled them together enjoying the moment.
My Amazon: Little details speak the answers.
Yes people that give me limp hand shakes and don’t look me in the eyes or don’t seem all that interested in anything other than themselves, well they make very small packages in life and in my opinion.
I like real genuine caring and loving people the only kind I associate with!
Too many false pretenses in this world already I don’t need fake people too.
Giggles!
I love you Sugar Plum
Like Oprah says everyone wants to ride with you in the limo stick with the people who will also ride with you on the BUS!!!!!!!!!!
I love details, they make all the difference. They show where your heart is…Nel
I completely agree and thank you for psoting the link to the book; I am definitely going to check it out.
Have a lovely day. It is rainy and stormy her on the eastern edge of Canada.
yes, the details make ALL the difference!
hugs,

A smile that reaches the eyes, two hands grasping one of yours = sincerity.
To look you in the eye when telling you something… small things that speak volumes.
Thank you as always Corey for reminding us of what should be obvious
It seems to me that it is the ‘small’ things that actually make up the quilt that is our lives. When wandering through my memories it is those small moments that come back to me, sometimes with pleasure, sometimes with sadness but always so vividly. Its a big responsibility to make the small details in our lives shine!
Bits of scrap
Small and sweet.
It’s the blue bow,
Nice and neat..
I would go
For 🙂
I just came across your blog via Italian Trivia, and I must tell you that you take the most beautiful pictures. Wonderful!
Yes, and it’s in these small bits of “bloggery” we get a wonderful picture of you!!
Definitely yes, I believe in first impressions and the feelings they leave.
I imagine your handshake firm, your smile engaging, and your eyes filled with depth and twinkles.
I would absolutely agree that you can get a feel for someone shaking their hand, looking in their eye, or – if you keep you soul open & aware – you can sense so much more about them just being in their presence. And if you can sense that, and meet someone where they’re at, interesting and powerful connections can be made.
Absolutely beautiful photo, I love putting the smallest bits in focus and recognising their worth, beauty and inticrateness.
much peace, JP
I am going through “the hidden places” in our house right now in search of materials to craft Christmas presents. Your lace would be perfect for a couple of angels 🙂
Corey, you can make anything look beautiful!(love that photo)
I always count on a handshake to tell me something about the person I am greeting. I hope they receive a positive message from my own.
I absolutly love antique lace!
I usually know if someone will be a friend on the first meeting. There is just that spark of souls connecting.
so true
body language.. was important in our generation .. and reliable..
but now..with so many ”body language coaches” analysing best approaches to people and teaching everyone..
now there are plenty of well hand shaking.. looking sweetly in your eyes..and smiling brightly” fake good persons..( jerks in my son’s terminology).. be aware.. =))
Corey, I love your optimistic outlook.
Thanks for your message in my blog 🙂
I really love what I’m seeing here.
You’re right: details make the difference and you’re so able to take the essence of things you meet.
Photos are beautiful… It’s a pleasure to read this blog: the architecture, the colors, the material of the old books,…there is an athmosphere here which is so pleasant…
Thanks!
Continue like that 🙂

PS: Sorry for my english…
thanks
I base my impression of someone based on their body language.
Sometimes I get a good impression right away, but other times, it takes a bit of time to collect enough language to build my impression.
is the little things that matter in the end, don’t they?
God is in the details.
And my eyes are soaking up the paper labels in your photo.
xoxo
