With Halloween just around the corner, the holidays might just sneak right up next to you before you know it. Or you might be like me and you have several birthdays and anniversaries coming up. Maybe you simply just want to show appreciation.

3. Money

Reminding your friends that you remember certain things about them is always a sweet way to show someone that you appreciate them.

10. Home-baked cookies

Of course, these cookies would need to be made small enough to fit in an envelope. But hey, who doesn’t love homemade cookies?

12. A music box

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day.
