Ten Priceless Gifts

1. The gift of listening...

Listen to someone in need. Really listen. No
interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your
responses. Just listen.

2. The gift of affection...

Be generous with your hugs, kisses and gentle squeezes
of the hand. Let these tiny actions demonstrate the
love inside of you.

3. The gift of a note...

It can be as simple as "I Love You" or as creative as a
sonnet. Put your notes where they will surprise your
loved ones.

4. The gift of laughter...

Just cut out a cartoon, save a clever article. Your
gift will say, "I love to laugh with you."

5. The gift of a compliment...

A simple "You look good in blue" or "Good supper" can
be of greatest value to those who might feel they are
being taken for granted.

6. The gift of a favor...

Help with the dishes or run an errand. Save someone
some steps, or perform a random act of kindness without
asking for anything in return.

7. The gift of leaving alone...

There are times in our lives when we want nothing more
than to be left alone. Become sensitive to those times
and give solitude.

8. The gift of a cheerful disposition...

Be cheerful around those you love. Greet someone with a
smile.

9. The gift of a game...

Offer to play your loved one's favorite game. Even if
you lose, you'll be a winner.

10. The gift of prayer...

Pray for your loved ones and let them know you pray for
them.

These are most expensive gifts of the life of any human being. These gifts can never be given they must be taken.

Be careful with this one if you are married to an engineer. They don't like anything to be even slightly random. Messes things up.
