Eight Gifts That Don't Cost A Cent To Give

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...

Funny pictures.

Share articles,

funny stories & greetings.

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 great 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.

Helping elderly cross

the road can be nice.



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.
