The Precious Gifts in Life



1. The Gift of Listening - But you must really listen. Don't interrupt, don't daydream, don't plan your response. Just listen.

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

4. 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.

5. The Gift of a Favour - Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. The Gift of a Cheerful Disposition - The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone. It may be the young person on the supermarket.


9. The Gift of Good Manners - how important they are in showing others that
we think highly of them and wish to show them care and consideration.
