Pay It Forward

Stop for a moment and think of someone who needs a gesture of kindness. Perhaps it is something kind that someone once said to you. With gratitude for what was given, reach out and give back. It can be a simple gesture, like sending a card, or calling someone who is sick and saying you care. You may well recall the movie or book, but if you want ideas and to connect to other kindly folks, go to payitforwardfoundation.org. Pay It Forward is all about people, from all walks of life, giving to others and making a positive difference. At last count there were more than 500,000people in 60 countries around the world participating.

Mindful Memo

    Write a note of gratitude to the people in your everyday life who make a difference-the mailman, a grocery clerk, or the greeter at the mall. Tell your friends about their great service so their businesses can grow. Just by paying attention to those who can so easily go unnoticed (especially if your smartphone is glued to your hand), you can enrich each other’s lives a little each day.

Planet-Positive and Paperless

    Try paying bills online. By some estimates, if all households in the US paid their bills online and received electronic statements instead of paper, we’d save 18.5 million trees every year, 2.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, and 1.7 billion pounds of solid waste (50waystohelp.org).

Extend an Invitation to Life's Rich Banquet

    If you see an uniformed soldier or veteran waiting in a restaurant to pick up their meal, arrange to pay for their meal. If they ordered it over the phone or online, ask an employee to refund them and pay for them yourself. Anonymously is perfect unless you want to thank them personally and "enlist" a new friend into your life!
