412 - Pose your special baby with a fun stuffed toy. What could be better than a friendly sock monkey?
413 - When you've read an amazing book, spread the word far and wide. I have been known to buy multiple copies of favorite books to give to family and friends. I even made a long list of good books for a friend who was having health problems.
414 - Instead of collecting tangible items, take photographs of them instead. When I was working at Borders Books and Music, I met a man who collected books on collectibles. He said he didn't have room for a lot of collections, so he bought the books instead.
415 - Make a caring telephone list so you remember to call the people in your world who could use a little attention and affection for whatever reason. I keep my caring list by the phone in my kitchen so I see it readily. I'm not perfect about calling, but my list helps me a lot.
416 - Take a survey of your own choosing. I like to ask people what they like to do for fun. People like to talk about fun, so that question often opens up very interesting conversations. I am also interested in people's sleep patterns -- when they go to bed and when they get up, etc. If you're ever at a party where you don't know very many people, asking a few questions is a great way to break the ice.
