People watch (that is a continuation of the title, in case that was not clear). I have noted the effects of smiling (not in any form of specific case study or whatever just in my life) and noticed that the effects of smiles actually are noticed (go figure).
I received a card (a day late) but it was from a friend who I would do anything for to begin with, so it was just nice to just receive something. People take for granted the littlest of things (atoms) and the immense feelings that come from them (elation). Regardless, she wrote to me just genuine feelings and I could not express the elation (there is the feeling again) I felt reading it. People take for granted their friends. Maybe not for granted, but everyone deserves a good feeling every once in a while which sometimes friends overlook.
Throw them a party (been there and done that) to express the true feelings you have for your friend. Your friend will never forget it, and they will have this feeling that is incomparable to any rush from a roller coaster (minus the g force) or anything else. Do it for anyone you want to. Do not restrict it to your friends. The feeling of getting a compliment, a solid genuine compliment (although a fake compliment works in making someone feel better, do not lie to them to make them feel better, that is just mean) is the best in the world. When you receive one you are more inclined to give someone else one due to the feeling you just felt. It is a chain reaction (not like the game show on GSN) of happiness. Cascading from the highest of spirits and reaching down to those that feel so alone. No one should feel alone (not physically, I mean, people are going to be alone sometimes). Be there for everyone you can, even if just minor acquaintances. You never know the impact you will have (normally a huge one). Even if you never get a thank you (then they are jerks if they don't thank you), they appreciate everything you do for them, I can assure you.
Write someone a letter today. Mail it to them. Don't send e-mails if you have the time to write a letter. Just call someone on the phone (and if necessary LEAVE A VOICE MAIL). If you ever felt good about something someone did for you, you should pass it on ( Like chain mail but only non-threatening if you don't pass it on to 10 people in the next 24 hours). Don't wait for them to be depressed. Do it on an ordinary day (like this Wednesday). Text people, "Hi, you're awesome." It makes an ordinary day seem like so much more.
I ask you to just tell someone what they mean to you today. Tell them that talking to them makes you smile. That their sense of humor cracks you up. Anything. Be sincere, but just tell them. There is something nice to say about everyone (I don't know about everything but definitely everyone).
"Take time to make someone else happy, that is the reason we have mouths and ears."
