Gifts That Don’t
Cost You Anything
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...
Clip cartoons. Share articles and funny stories. 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 good 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.
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. Friends are
a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed.
They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open
their hearts to us. Show your friends how much you care.
Happy gift
