How to be a Sweetheart

Today, be a sweetheart. Call someone you love and say, "I love 
you." (Make two or three calls; who says you can't love more than 
one person-in different ways, of course.) 

Go through your closets and give all those clothes that you've 
been saving until you lose 10 pounds to your favorite charity. 

Call someone who's lonely and say, "I'm thinking of you." Or, 
better yet, say, "I'll be over tomorrow to take you to lunch." 

Visit a sick friend. Say a prayer. Donate some blood. Adopt a 
pet. Will your eyes to some one who can use them after you're 
gone. Forgive an enemy. 

Hug your teen-ager. Write a fan letter. Listen to a bore. Tell 
your parents you think they're wonderful. Drive carefully. 

And don't wait until next year to be a sweetheart again.
