Need a bit of joy in your life? Buy a stranger a coffee. Want a quick pic-me-up? Give someone a compliment. Want something to make your day? Pay a visit to someone living alone. You will be bringing them a burst of joy, and then see what happens to you and how you react. These are wholesome and heartfelt gifts that go a long way in helping us remember that goodness lives in each and every one of us. Ask someone about their day and show that you care with a smile. These simple gestures are profound.

What have you done for someone lately? How did it make you feel?
