Sometimes we forget. We forget to tell our parents how much we love and appreciate all that they do. We forget to tell our siblings that there is no one else in this world we would have rather have grown up with. We forget to tell our friends how life just wouldn't be the same without them. We all forget sometimes, but when we remember, you can really make someone's day.

1. A goodnight text

Knowing someone out there is thinking of you can make you smile. Whether it is a simple “Goodnight!" or a sentimental message ending with “Sweet dreams," it is sure to make someone smile.

2. A random phone call

Getting a spontaneous phone call from a friend you haven't seen in quite a while is an exciting enhancement to any day. Whether it's just getting to hear their voice or catching up on the latest news, it's always nice to hear from someone and know that you cross their mind.

3. “Good luck on your exam."

Knowing someone has noticed your hard work and effort put into preparing for this exam, and even remembers when the big day finally arrives, often makes you feel competent and proud.

4. “How was your day?!"

When someone is genuinely interested in your day-to-day life, it feels great. Having someone to celebrate your new internship with or vent to about your long hard day, can really make a difference.

5. A sticky note and a snack.

Finding your favorite Quest bar (obviously chocolate chip cookie dough) with a sticky note reading, “No need to stress, you've got this! Have a good day!" is bound to make you smile. Knowing someone took the time out of their day to do something so thoughtful just makes you appreciate life a little bit more.

There are so many ways to show the people we love that we care. There are so many ways that we can effortlessly brighten someone's day. There are so many ways we can make a difference. We're only human so, yes, we all forget but if you do remember, you are sure to make someone out there smile.
