• 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 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 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. Your "Thank You", "Hello" or "Have a nice day" may be the only nice thing someone has heard all day.
