Little Things Mean A LOT!

SO, in my effort of going through PILES and PILES of papers, 
 craft stuff, office supplies, holiday decor, gift wrapping/giving supplies, I came across a folder of papers from my work and I had this hanging at my desk the majority of the time I worked.  It was a paper entitled 
"Little Things Mean A Lot" 
and I remember daily looking at it and trying to make sure I was working on each thing on the list.

They are too good to keep to myself, 
so I thought I would share them and hope you enjoy them as much as I have!
(and now I can throw the paper in the garbage...
one less paper cluttering my life!)

Sing in the shower... Plant a tree on your birthday... Watch a sunrise at least once a year... Compliment three people every day...  Never refuse homemade brownies... Buy whatever it is kids are selling on card tables in their front yards... Floss your teeth...  Strive for excellence, not perfection...  Wear polished shoes...  Say "Thank you" a lot...  Say "Please" a lot...  Overtip breakfast waitresses...  Learn three clean jokes...  Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know...  Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures...  Leave everything a little better than you found it...   Returned borrowed vehicles with the gas tank full...  Avoid negative people...  Remember people's birthdays...  Have a firm handshake...  Carry jumper cables in your trunk...  Send LOTS of Valentine cards and sign them, "Someone who thinks you're terrific"...  Use the good silver, the good dishes and the nice towels...  Be the first to say, "Hello"...  Make some new friends, but cherish the old ones...  Keep secrets...  Don't expect life to be fair...   Wave at kids on school buses...  Look at people right in the eye...  Plant flowers every spring...  Be there when people need you...  Return all things you borrow...  Live your life as an Exclamation! NOT an explanation...  Never underestimate the power of love...  Rekindle old friendships...  Always accept an outstretched hand... Stop blaming others...  Don't be afraid to say "I made a mistake"...  Count your blessings...  Call your mother...  Keep your promises (NO matter what)...  Buy a kid a chocolate ice cream cone...  Feed a stranger's expired parking meter... Compliment even small improvements... Call Dad

 Have a wonderful day 

and I hope it is full of the many 

"little" things that bring 
so much joy and meaning to life!
