Kind Words Go Further Than Kind Thoughts

The girl at the salon who does your hair.

The guy who does your daily deliveries.

The couple living across the hall with their 1-year-old.

The people you see often. Give them a kind word or two. Let them know they're appreciated and, more specifically, let them know you appreciate them.

Sometimes I am so focused on my own thoughts and feelings, I forget that there are others who are probably going through a tougher day. Maybe I don't notice because their smile is bigger than mine. If ever you ask yourself whether you should send someone a text, an email, a phone call; do it. Thinking about someone today? Let them know. I know that's what I'm going to do.
