Charlotte Brontë, Shirley (1849).
I stepped away from Shirley, but I had to save this lovely sentence.
Small things today: walking, reading, take-out because it’s Friday. I take none of these small things for granted.

I just discovered the source, Zechariah 4:10: “For who has despised the day of small things?” (KJV).
Also from Charlotte Brontë

The Day of Small Things!
That's wonderful!
I was going to say it'd make a great title then remembered The God of Small Things. Not the same, but too close.
(I enjoy these ponderings about things such as choosing book titles that I will never do anyway.)
I remembered that title.
I fear that The Day of Small Things could be the title of a terrible book of poetry. I hope not!
By Rod McKuen possibly?
“listen to the small things”
As a person who enjoys building scale models, a book called The Day of Small Things might be an account of a particularly good day of model building :-)
There are at least three novels with (more or less) this title at Amazon. At this point I think we’ve gotta turn it over to a model maker. :)
