These priceless gifts are not seasonal. We can give them all year long. As we give them, we will find that giving enriches the giver as much as the recipient. These gifts are worth a million dollars, but they don't cost a cent.
1. The Gift of Listening But you really have to listen. No interrupting, 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 your love for family and friends. 3. The Gift of Laughter Clip cartoons. Share great articles and funny stories. E-mail especially good ones to people you know are feeling blue. Your gift will say, "I love to laugh with you." 4. The Gift of A Written Note It can be a simple "I love you" or "Thanks for your help." A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime, and may even change a life. 5. The Gift of A Sincere 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. Try it on your way to work, or wherever you go today. 7. The Gift of Solitude There are times when we want only to be left alone. Be sensitive to other people's feelings, and give the gift of solitude to others. 8. The Gift of Good Cheer The easiest way to feel good is to make others feel good.

the media is never out to tell you the truth
rather they want you to believe what they want you to believe they are in for the ratings it seems ever so unfortunate that the truth gets the worst ratings on the TV when it gets the best ratings in life |
