Lovely words....worth reading and giving. Enjoy - Tunks
In the economy of the heart these presents are priceless. This simple checklist can help measure how you are nurturing your relationships.
The Gift of Listening
The best gift you can give anyone is to listen to really listen.
Do not interrupt, do not daydream and most important do not plan your response. Just listen.
The Gift of a Smile
Besides making you look beautiful, a smile is contagious and helps to spread happiness.
The Gift of Laughter
Enjoy your moments together. Share articles and funny stories.
Clip cartoons. Your gift will say, "I love to laugh with you."
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 Service
Everyday, go out of your way to do something kind for someone.
......it could also be a stranger.
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.
The Gift of a Compliment
The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone.
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 Affection
Be generous with your smiles, hugs, kisses, pats on the back and handholds as appropriate. Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for your family and friends.
The Gift of Prayer
The most precious gift of all! Never fails to work!

Those are some great gift ideas, and best of all they cost nothing more than the thought to do it.
I agree, and these are the basic rules of life. They should be obvious but they are not. I can't say I know why only the evidence says so.
Thanks for sharing and reminding us what matters :)
As it' said...the best thing in life are for free :)
It's the little things that really matter, that tend to go unnoticed... I hope this msg gets through to the readers.
Give a gift today :)
Love those gifts babe ;)
Me too :) and anyone receiving or givin them will also. thats the beauty of it.
Hello: I have for you a 'GIFT' and 'Words'.
Hearing and listening are not the same thing..listening requires action.
Two things about a smile you can never control;
1. When your smile might just save someones life.
2. When someone is falling in love with your smile.
Laughter IS the BEST medicine.
In solitude is the BEST place to talk to GOD and then LISTEN.
In serving others, we are serving GOD.
Thank you for this gift.
Positive energy spreads positive energy...even thanking someone for their smile can be a wonderous compliment.
To understand LOVE you must first BECOME love and look from Love's perspective.
Prayer Will always get you what you need, but may still leave you empty if all you're doing is wanting.
WISDOM: is not the 'accumulation' of knowledge, but rather the proper 'application' of that knowledge.
I don't think I know...I just know I'm thinking.
your humble servant,
Ancient Clown
