So I was blog surfing today... and came across this great list of gifts! They are gifts that are nice to get and receive, and best of all.... FREE... so I thought that I would share them with the world out there!
THE GIFT OF LISTENING - But, you must really listen! No interruption, no daydreaming, and no planning your response. Just listening. (This is one of my challenges in my daily life, I must give this gift more than the times I actually receive it).
THE GIFT OF AFFECTION - Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back and handholds. Let these small action demonstrate the love you have for family and friends.
THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER - Clip cartoons and share articles and funny stories. Your git will say, "I love to laugh with you."
THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE - It can be a simple "Thanks for the help"
or, or a full sonnet. A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime, and may even change a life.
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 someones day.
THE GIFT OF A FAVOR - Everyday, go out of your way to do something kind.
THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE - There are time 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 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."
And last but not least.... don't forget-
LOVE - a gift we can give every day!!!!!!
I hope this makes you want to get out there and start gifting others.... Happy Gifting!
