Eight Gifts that Do Not Cost A Cent
By Author Unknown
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 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.
THE GIFT OF A 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, really it's not that hard to say, Hello or Thank You
GOOD MORNING
It is OVER THE HUMP DAY and soon we'll be on the down hill slide right into the weekend. The day went by so fast yesterday I hardly had time to think. One thing after another and by the time evening came I was so thankful just to sit and unwind.
I know you've probably seen the list of gifts above before, but this one had a little different twist so I thought as we're all preparing for the holidays ahead it would be a good one to reflect on a bit.
I have a friend that actually clips cartoons and shares them with people. She always seems to find the right one for the appropriate time. There are so many things we can do to bring a little 'sunshine' into an otherwise gloomy day for someone.
We have to be able to laugh, especially at our selves. It is truly the best medicine.
BLESSING FOR THE DAY
Just beautiful Indian Summer Weather
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Don't be fooled by the calendar.
There are only as many days in the year as you make use of.
One man gets only a week's value out of a year while another gets a full year's value out of a week.

May JOY find your HEART and warm your SOUL.
