Just thought I’d give all of you a nice list of things to think about. 

This isn’t an in-depth post but more of a thought for the day — is there someone you’d like to make happy today?

This list is just to spark some ideas and please note that not every item on this list is appropriate for every person in your life. I trust you to figure out which actions go with which people.
