Give the dog a bone*
Yield the right of way
Cut the dude some slack
Turn gently away (or toward)
Give crazy stuff a break
Speak up in support
Make the referral
Contribute: your time, the funds
Say hello (whether or not they speak back)
Acknowledge the effort
Pay a compliment
Say thanks
Notice what you take for granted
(that) each and every day
we depend on each other in thousands of ways – minute and huge
we do not exist alone
Love….be love

*The phrase “give the dog a bone” is from the old English children’s song, “This Old Man”. The first verse of the version I learned as a child goes:
This old man, he played one,
He played knick-knack on my thumb;
With a knick-knack paddywhack,
Give the dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
And so on…
