Want to show your appreciation to someone? Don’t whip out your wallet. Instead, take the time to personally compliment them.
Whether its someone you’ve hired to do a job (like a contractor or a house cleaner), a co-worker or employee, or even a customer taking a few minutes and giving them some positive feedback can make a huge difference. You can do this face-to-face, write a letter to their employer or business, or even post a note in a place where their other customers or co-workers are able to see it.

Got a new digital toy. 14" HP Chromebook. This model comes with 200 MB per month data via T-Mobile. I used up 80% of that in the first hour! Anyway, that's why I bought it. As a refurb, it was nearly $100 less than the regular price for the item. I used it most of the afternoon, and only drained 20% of the battery. Cool so far!
