Smile awhile!

This week (July 20-26) is National Make Someone Smile Week. I think we probably all miss lots of opportunities to do something nice for others because we are not paying attention. Often it may not be a big deal to you, but may mean a lot to another person. Here are a few ideas I found to make people smile:

• drop a few coins in an area where kids will find them. Do you remember how excited you were when you were a child and you found some coins?
• compliment people who have done a good job or been helpful to you
• send a card or letter to someone you don't see often
• when your child talks to you, give them your full attention
• help someone who looks like they need it - getting something from a high shelf, needing directions, needs help carrying something...
• say thank you when you check out
• hold the door for someone
• tell someone how much you appreciate them

You get the idea! See what you can do this week to spread a smile!
