47. Be grateful: "I am creating a daily journal for my husband's next birthday, telling him why I am grateful he's in my life. It will be a yearlong project. I hope it puts a big smile on his face. It makes me secretly smile as I write in it every night and realize how lucky I am to love and be loved."
48. Sing a song: "Whenever I call one of my closest friends who moved across the country, I make up a little song to leave on her machine in case she's not there. They're totally goofy rhymes to tunes like the Indiana Jones theme song or 'Sixteen Going on Seventeen' from the Sound of Music."
49. Be a friend: "If a friend is having a bad week, I call her every morning before she leaves for work and tell her I love her, she's the best, and she'll get through it."
50. Spread goofiness: "On a Post-it, I scribble the funniest version of a smiley face I can -- an X for each eye, or a jagged line in a frown, curly-cues of hair sticking out wildly -- anything to win a grin. Then I put it someplace for the person I love to discover when I'm not around."
