THE GIFT OF LISTENING,
THE GIFT OF AFFECTION,
THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER,
THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE,
THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT
THE GIFT OF A FAVOR,
THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE,
THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION

But you must REALLY listen.,
No interrupting,,
no daydreaming,,
no planning your response.,
Just listening.
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.
Clip cartoons.,
Share articles and funny stories.,
Your gift will say, ,
"I love to laugh with you".
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.
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.
Every day, go out of your,
way to do something kind.
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 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
