Outstanding GIFTS

The important thing about a gift is what it symbolises, both to the giver and the receiver. Of course, the actual gift matters too, but we sometimes worry too much about perfection when considering its packaging. The gift-wrapping has to be just right, even though we know that, within moments of handing it over, those bits of paper and plastic will be discarded in the bin., Don't be tempted to focus too much on presentation, and not enough on the content and meaning, in all your key relationships.

Let’s build relations and not be transactional with using both head and heart. 

Outstanding GIFTS:

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 holds. 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.

THE GIFT OF PRESENCE.

Instead of buying commercial gifts try to gift your love the gift of your presence. That is the best kinda gift.
