8 Gifts that Cost Nothing




THE GIFT OF LISTENING

But you must REALLY listen. No interrupting,
no daydreaming, no planning your response.
Just listening.


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.


THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER

Clip cartoons.
Share articles and funny stories.
Your gift will say, "I love to laugh with you."


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.


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.


THE GIFT OF A FAVOR

Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.


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.


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.
