How about making happy by taking this 21 day thank you challenge?!

For the next 21 days you send a quick thank you to someone.  Choose someone different every day.  Send your thank you via text, facebook, email, video message, sticky note, or a thank you card thrown on their desk.  It doesn’t need to be lengthy or elaborate.  Don’t turn this into a chore.  This is for your happiness not something to add to your to-do list. So if you miss a day or a week, just pick it back up where you left off.

Keep your message short and sweet. Keeping it to a sentence or two.  However, don’t say “thank you for everything you do” or ” thanks for always being there.”  Those just sound like memes and not very beneficial. Thank them for something specific they have done.  This is a sweeter message for them.  Plus this is of more benefit for you as it brings up a nice memory for you and helps you feel more grateful. 

21 different people seem a little overwhelming?  Let me help.  Spouses, children, grandchildren, grandparents, uncles, aunts, parents, co-workers, friends, neighbors, teachers, counselors, doctor, nurses, housekeepers, assistants, wait staff, parking attendant, supervisor, mechanic, pastor, mail carrier, gardener, chiropractor, receptionist.  Anyone who has helped you, gone the extra mile, or that you can depend on.

WARNING:  Don’t reach out to those you no longer wish contact with.  They might misunderstand and believe you want to renew the relationship.  Also don’t contact ex-spouses or ex-lovers. It creates confusion and possible jealousy with your current or theirs.  This is a happiness exercise, not about creating chaos.
