42. Hold a door: "I hold open doors for people -- a woman toting children, an elderly person. It's such a little gesture, but their faces light up."
43. Say thanks: "One of the things I like to do is tell someone that I care about 'thanks for being you.'"
44. Say "we miss you": "Since my husband is a pilot, my kids and I try to hide something in his bags when he leaves for work. Sometimes it's a picture of the girls or one drawn by the girls, or sometimes a card or note from me. We've been known to hide Dad's special favorite candy too."
45. Reminisce: "If I happen upon an old email from a friend that was particularly funny or touching, I sometimes send it back to them months later just to laugh or reminisce about what was going on back then, how things have changed or how they've really stayed the same."
46. Commend a job well done: "Everyone is quick to complain about poor customer service, so when I get great service in a store or restaurant, I try to find a manager and make sure they know what a good job a particular employee has done."
