Think Big

Look for ways to step out of your normal routine and connect with others. Compliment a stranger. Show an interest in your neighbor's garden or pets.

Learn names. Not just of people, but of the birds, flowers and other living things. It's a much richer experience to say, "There's a nuthatch," than "There's a cute little bird."

Reconnect with old friends and acquaintances.
