If you can’t be everything to somebody reach out and just be a friend. If you can’t be somebody’s whole life be satisfied with making their moment on their day. Give them a smile and a gesture of friendship to warm them. Do something nice for them, something unexpected. People appreciate even the smallest offer of kindness and acceptance. A call, a note or whatever you decide, that will do.

If you can’t solve somebody’s problems just make them feel a little better about something. Make them feel good about themselves. It doesn’t have to be a big deal or a cost lot of money. It can just be something thoughtful and small. Let them know that someone is thinking of them. Make their world a little better even for a short while. They just might need a lift, you never know. Don’t hold back. Life is too short. They might need you, if you can’t make their day then brighten a moment for them. It could be important.
