Gifts

THE GIFT OF LISTENING ... but you must truly listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response ... just listen.

THE GIFT OF AFFECTION... Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back and handholds. Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family and friends.

 

THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER ... Clip cartoons - Share articles and funny stories. Your gift will say, "I love to laugh with you."

 

THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE ... It can be a simple "Thanks for the help" note - or a full sonnet. A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime, and may even change a life for the better.

 

THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT ... A simple and sincere: "You look great in red," or "You did a super job" or "That was a wonderful meal" can make someone's day.

 

THE GIFT OF A FAVOR... Every day, go out of your way to do something kind for someone.

 

THE GIFT OF SOLITUD... There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others.

 

THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITIO... The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone ... really it's not that hard to say: "Hello" or "Thank You".

 

Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, share a word of praise, and are always willing to open their hearts to us.
