| EIGHT GIFTS #1 The gift of a written note: Keep it simple and straightforward� Such as �Thanks for your help�. A letter or memo is wonderful to receive #2 The gift of affection: Be generous with caring gestures� A hug, a kiss, a pat on the shoulder, compliments. #3 The gift of listening: You need to really listen� Without interruption, without day dreaming and without reflecting on your answer. Just listen! #4 The gift of pleasure: Share your happy moments, let them be known. Tell someone �I enjoy being with you� #5 The gift of a compliment: Simple and honest, as in �red suits you�, �you did that so well� or �that was a lovely dinner�, is all it takes to make someone�s day. #6 The gift of advice: Watch your step� Keep your eyes wide open, or Do a good deed every day. #7 The gift of being by yourself: There are moments we need to be alone. But use this time carefully, and allow others to do the same. #8 The gift of a friendly word: Being on the receiving end of a kind remark. It�s so easy to say: Hello or thank you. Friends are a treasure. They are there to listen, to encourage, and to look out for you. Show your friends how much they mean to you.
