- Compliment someone’s outfit, shirt, or shoes.
- Tell a person you really like his or her name.

- Tell a joke – even if it’s corny.
- When you get up to get something, ask the person closest to you if he or she needs anything.
- Buy your coffee . .and the next customer’s.
- When someone says something funny . . . laugh a little louder and longer than you might have yesterday.

Haha – YOU TOO!
Ah!!! That baby makes my heart so very happy!!!!!!!!!!
That is my niece, Sofia 🙂
I just taught my son rock paper scissors. So fun! It totally made his day lol. Thanks for sharing these!
Awesome!! Thanks Sara!
This is a great, fun list! I am not familiar with Philomena’s joke of the day – I will need to check it out. And, I’m trying to think of how complete strangers would react (i.e. grocery store clerks) if you challenged them to a race… I bet you’d get some pretty weird looks, but after you’d left, they wouldn’t know what hit ’em!
Haha – I was more thinking ask someone you know a random question – but that’s funny lol
Love this list!
Thanks 🙂
This is such a great list filled with lots of great ideas. The picture of the baby is precious.
That’s my niece – I agree haha 🙂 Thank you!
Great ideas to add more joy to the day! It’s wonderful how reaching out to someone else and being kind and genuine always makes US feel good too.
