Take 5 minutes

. . . and make someone’s day.

It can be really easy. Send an e-mail to a friend telling them how much something they said recently resonated with you. Buy a treat for your kids. (I stopped at the corner store and got blueberries and black grapes for mine — and the boy just got home and gave me an enormous hug when he saw them.) If you see something that needs doing — do it. Wave to your neighbors. Little things matter.

We all love it when others think of us. I can’t begin to tell you all how much your encouragement earlier this week has meant to me. (I’m still not up to writing, but I’m getting there.) Thank you.

    This is a really good idea, thanks.

  2. I’m a total space cadet so often don’t think of doing little things, but ever since making an effort to do so, I’ve found that even a few nice words can make the difference between a bad day and a great day for someone.

      And it’s not an easy habit to cultivate when I’m feeling down, but I think it’s totally worth it.

      Thanks for commenting, Alex!
