[2023-12-27] Be a friend

How many lives did you make better today?

Did you
Listen to a child
Talk with a parent
Text with a friend
Make food for your family
Eat a meal with a loved one

Did you
Tell someone you loved them
Compliment an acquaintance
Pat a colleague on the back
Wave to a neighbour
Thank a stranger

Did you
Make plans with a friend
Appreciate a family member
Own up to a mistake
Help someone with a problem
Give to a charity

Did you
Connect with someone
Encourage an individual to pursue their dreams
Reach out to someone who may have felt lonely
Validate a person who confided in you
Decide that your relationship is more important than being right

Did you
Make someone laugh
Share something with a friend you know they would like
Give someone your undivided attention
Hug a loved one
Kiss someone goodnight

There are many ways to make a difference
In the life of another human being
What you choose to do to connect with others is less important
Than the sincerity with which you do it

Take the first step
Invest time in others
Be a friend
