“Things spoken can be forgotten and forgiven, but the written word has the power to change the course of history, to alter our lives.”

Make a list of everything you love about your best friend and give it to him or her to read and preserve forever.

Today I remind myself of all the things I am blessed with, and I do not take any of them for granted. I tell the people that I love how much I appreciate them.

“Many hands make light work.”

Help your parent or roommate prepare the Thanksgiving table for dinner. Quality time; plus, give the table an extra special touch of you.

Today I am looking forward to helping others! Instead of asking what people can do for me, I will ask what I can do for them!

“When you have a dream, you’ve got to grab it and never let go.”

Send a card to a friend or loved one who recently accomplished something that means a great deal to them.

Today I will APPRECIATE everyone in my life. Letting my loved ones know how much they mean to me is very important.

“The only way to have a friend is to be one.”

Treat a coworker to lunch. We can get so wrapped up in work mode that we forget to truly connect with people. Infusing the workplace with a bit of kindness can do wonders to the way we feel.

Today I am a great friend! I will take time out of my day to help my pals out in any way they need!

“Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.”

Buy some fast-food certificates and have them handy to gift to those in need of a warm meal.

Today I recognize that I am wealthy in ways that pertain to more than my finances! The measure of true wealth is the amount of love and happiness I give and receive in life! Unlike money, love and happiness lasts a lifetime!

“Always believe something wonderful is about to happen.”

Pay for the coffee of the person behind you at the drive-through.

Today I will be HOPEFUL. I believe in a better future, and I trust that kindness will prevail.

“A bit of fragrance always clings to the hand that gives roses.”

Bring flowers to a hospital to give to patients who may not get any visitors. (Just ask a nurse who’s in need of a visit.)

Today I am resourceful. I seek ways to use what I have to bring joy to others.

“Do something wonderful; people may imitate it.”

Take a moment to acknowledge an act of kindness someone has performed. Not only will it make the person feel good, you can be sure they will be likely to repeat it in the future.

Today I will be grateful. I will make it a habit to thank the people who touch my life, even for the little things. The more I practice being grateful, the more I will find I am never lacking or wanting.

“What you do today is the history you make tomorrow.”

Go to an event to support a friend or family member.

Today I will show my love and support to people in my life.

“Having a place to go is home. Having someone to love is family. Having both is a blessing.”

Take the time to really listen today. Someone in your own home may need to talk.

Today I show my family how much I LOVE them in all the verbal and non-verbal ways I can!

“It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.”

Think of one positive action or activity you can do on a regular basis and begin doing it today.

Today I will venture outside of my COMFORT ZONE. I will dare greatly and take a chance!

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

Smile at yourself in the mirror for fifteen seconds. Tell yourself you are beautiful (you are!).

Today I will accept my body and realize I am the perfect weight and height for ME. I will smile in the mirror and mean it when I say I am beautiful!

“People seldom notice old clothes if you wear a big smile.”

Take a jacket you never wear and give it to someone on the street (go ahead and do this with anything you haven’t worn in the past six months).

Today my purpose is to spread JOY and positivity! A smile is a gift and passing it on makes the world a happier place!

“Always be a little kinder than necessary.”

Borrowed someone’s car? Fill it up with gas. Whether it’s your parents,’ your friend’s, your boss’s, and yes, even your younger sibling’s.

Today I am aware of my surroundings and how I can play a part to make it kinder.

“Life isn’t about getting and having, it’s about giving and being.”

Copy your favorite recipe and share it with a friend or neighbor. We put so much love into our food, why not share it? Perhaps include a sampling with it.

Today I share knowledge and seek it out in every which way I can.

“Getting the most out of life isn’t about how much you keep for yourself, but how much you pour into others.”

Have a major test coming up? Surprise your classmates by preparing a review sheet for them.

Today I am generous. I give a little extra to show my appreciation.
