1.Buy an extra book and donate it to your child's classroom,the local library or a refuge.
2.Next time you're craving something sweet,bake a double batch of chocolate-chip biscuits and give some to a housebound neighbour or overworked colleague.
3.Pick up litter on your way to the bus or the train in the morning.
4.Go the extra distance when someone goes out of her way for you.Send a complimentary note to her supervisor,with a copy to the person who helped you.
5.Next time you're in line at the supermarket with a loaded trolley,be gracious.Let the person behind you-the one with a single item-go ahead of you.
6.Carry change to feed expired parking meters.
7.Donate blood,and give the gift of life.
8.Offer to water the neighbours' plants while they're away on holidays.
9.Praise your children.Try to rise above the inevitable petty conflicts that litter family life.
10.Be recklessly courteous and wildly polite:hold doors open.Thank the bus driver,the coffee shop's counter person-all the service people whose work makes life a little more livable.
