Deliver a batch of warm cookies to a neighbor. 2. Surprise your son or daughter by doing one of THEIR chores!! 3. Take doughnuts to the custodians at your child’s school – the overlooked hard workers! 4. Take coloring books & crayons to the CHOA Forsyth waiting room – there’s bound to be a little kiddo there could use a “cheer me up”. 5. Offer to babysit a family or friend’s kiddo for a night – FOR FREE! 6. SMILE a lot. 7. Send a hand-written thank you note to a mentor, old teacher or old boss that taught you a lot!
