TODAY I WILL

• Today I will do something like laugh,
  
  
• Go see a touching movie with a lonely friend,
  
  
• Call a friend, even though it has been five months or longer since they've called me,
  
  
• Smile at one who appears discouraged,
  
  
• Avoid waiting to be asked to help but take the initiative,
  
  
• Open the door for the person behind me,
  
  
• Leave the remaining change in a soda machine's tray when I put a dollar in to get a drink for 55 cents (who knows? -- 25 cents could enable someone to make that last minute call to make a wrong a wonderful right again),
  
  
• Do a house hold task my spouse generally would do,
  
  
• Go to a senior citizen's home and chat with someone there (if I live long enough, I will one day anxiously anticipate a kind listening ear),
  
  
• Say a prayer for someone I cannot tolerate (win-win proposition),
  
  
• Tactfully interrupt a co-worker who starts gossiping and change the subject,
  
  
• Refuse to allow miserable and negative people to affect my thinking,
  
  
• Tell a family member or friend that I love them when I'm finished reading this.
