Eight Gifts

  

Below are eight gifts that don't cost a cent to give. 

1) THE GIFT OF LISTENING... 
But you must REALLY listen. 
No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response. 
Just listening. 

2) 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. 

3) THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER... 
Funny pictures. Share articles, funny stories and funny 
greetings. Your gift will say, "I love to laugh with you." 

4) 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. 

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

6) THE GIFT OF A FAVOR... 
Every day, go out of your way to do something kind. 
Helping elderly cross the road can be nice. 

7) THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE... 
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. 

8) THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION... 
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.
