Appreciate

• Send a thank you card to someone who would least expect it. Like your auto mechanic, lawyer, accountant, dental hygienist, doctor or postman. You'll make their day!
• Thank three people at church who enriched your experience: choir, greeter, nursery, coffee hour, etc.
• Offer thanks to a military family in your community. Send a small gift of gratitude, help out with work around the house, or offer to take someone to lunch. Some of these folks have been away from their loved ones for months and months, and could really use your loving kindness.
• Send a "thanks for being a great mom or dad" card to a busy parent and acknowledge them for contributing to humanity in a powerful way
• Take a box of goodies to the post office, your local fire department, or police station, and let the employees know that you appreciate them.
• Leave a larger than normal tip hidden under a cup for your favorite restaurant server.
• Write the words "thank you" on the bills you pay this month. You never know what a difference a small gesture of gratitude can make.
• Send a note of thanks to the teacher who takes good care of your son or daughter. Or send a note of thanks to a teacher or mentor (past or present) of your own.
• Stop for a moment and browse through your address book to identify the people who serve you, keep you safe, or help make your life easier in some way.  Then, consider the people in your neighborhood, community, family or friends.  Who could use a special "thank you" this week? Make a list of at least five people and thank one special person every day.
