These are all so great. Nothing is better than a list of positive and inspiring thoughts.

What a wonderful list. And each one of those meaningful things is so special and can totally turn someone’s day around. Just thinking about compliments and a good firm handshake, and especially being let ahead of someone at the checkout, makes me feel good. Thanks.
I like this list. I had a full cart of groceries today and all the lines were long so I offered to let the lady behind me with only 8 items go ahead of me but she wouldn’t. Guess she had no place to go in any rush. I tried to be nice. It took me 20 minutes to get through the line and checked out.
