    1) THE GIFT OF LISTENING . . .
    But you must REALLY listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, 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 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 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.

    5) 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.

    6) THE GIFT OF A FAVOR . . .
    Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.

    7) 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.

    8) 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. Friends are a very rare
    jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend
    an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their
    hearts to us.

    Now who would dis-agree with me that i'm wrong? Discuss.
