TODAY I WILL

- Today I will do something like laugh,

- Go see a touching movie with a lonely friend,

- Call a friend, even though it has been five months or longer since they've called me,

- Smile at one who appears discouraged,

- Avoid waiting to be asked to help but take the initiative,

- Open the door for the person behind me,

- Leave the remaining change in a soda machine's tray when I put a dollar in to get a drink for 55 cents (who knows? -- 25 cents could enable someone to make that last minute call to make a wrong a wonderful right again),

- Do a house hold task my spouse generally would do,

- Go to a senior citizen's home and chat with someone there (if I live long enough, I will one day anxiously anticipate a kind listening ear),

- Say a prayer for someone I cannot tolerate (win-win proposition),

- Tactfully interrupt a co-worker who starts gossiping and change the subject,

- Refuse to allow miserable and negative people to affect my thinking,

- Tell a family member or friend that I love them when I'm finished reading this.
