Make Someone's Day Everyday!

Valentine's Day came and gone once again this year. I'm sure that many proclaimed their infinite glorious love hot as a thousand suns to those close and dear, yet at the same time, many hearts were crushed. Personally, I don't like this "holiday." It is often called "Single Awareness Day." Don't get me wrong, I have a lover, too, but I choose not to celebrate this day every year because it's ridiculous. Why should one wait for a specific day to express their love with red roses and chocolates? Shouldn't one do it every day? Furthermore, this day is a constant reminder to others that they don't have someone special in their lives.
This is why I'm calling for a movement to MAKE SOMEONE'S DAY EVERYDAY! Sure, I just made that up and it's not a very catchy name either, but its purpose is nonetheless positive and enriching. Too often we go through life unaware of those around us. Unless someone told you, would you have know that a certain person was a bit under the weather, bothered, or even crushed?
I'm sure many years later, historians will write of our generation, and things such as self-injury, depression, and suicide will be highlighted as dangerous trends. They are very real problems. Do we want to be remembered simply as the hopeless and depressed? I do not.
There are many factors making life discontent and we cannot help everyone with them. However, we can all do our little share every day to cheer someone up.
(A lot of these are aimed towards students since we have breaks and more wee bit more time.)

For strangers:
1. Smiles are nice. (I once walked to a light rail stop, and this old man there smiled at me when he saw me. Made my day.)
2. Be courteous. Use "please," "thank you," and "excuse me." Show those that are serving you that you are appreciative of them. There are so many other ways of doing this, but these would be the first steps.
3. Hold the door open for someone especially if they're older, pushing a stroller, or carrying something heavy. (Don't forget a smile, too!)

For those you know:
1. Bear hugs are nice. Random ones are even better!
2. Leave messages for them if in a hurry! They could be on Post-its, that old gum-wrapper, or random cell phone text. You could twist it up by making them "secret." (I like to deliver my messages in film canisters and old Listerine pocket strips packs.)
3. Take the time to listen. The world doesn't revolve around each one of us.
4. Don't ask someone for a favor if you know you'll never talk to them again. You'll come off not only as a burden, but also as a jerk.
5. When you go out, bring something home to your family/roommates/pets. (-shrugs- My mom always makes sure to bring back food for me and my sister food. It's her strange way of saying, "I LOVE/MISSED YOU.")
6. If you have time, write a letter to someone. By hand is preferable, but email works, too. Or if you're feeling creative, make a card! Bake a cake! Whatever you fancy! Show that person they are special!
7. Spend a day out with your friend on an adventure!
8. Serenade!!!!
9. Make your greetings and goodbyes special. Instead of a simple "HEY" when you see someone, you can say "HEY SUNSHINE!"
10. If you're religious, you could pray with them. It'd help.
11. Don't focus on someone's negatives, but try to find someone's positives and acknowledge them. Besides, do you even know them well enough to define them?

These are for starters, I'm sure there are infinite ways of making someone's day better. Please comment if you have any other ideas! I'll edit them into this post! (+ credit of course.)

And thanks for taking the time to reading! :)
