Making a big deal

People make a big deal out of little things all the time.

But sometimes, a little thing is indeed a big deal.

My daughter voted for the first time yesterday. She was excited and she was proud. At the polling place, the volunteers made a big deal of it, congratulating her on participating in democracy. It was smiles all around.

Sometimes milestones are more like mile-pebbles, but they’re just as worthy of celebration.
