1. The gift of listening... But you must really listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response. Just listening
2. The gift of affections... With appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back, and handholds. Theses small actions demonstrate love in a powerful way.
3. The gift of laughter... Share amusing stories, humorous cartoons, and clippings from the newspaper. Laughter establishes a bond between people and is one of the most effective medicines.
4. The gift of a handwritten note... Kind words change lives and last a lifetime.
5. The gift of a compliment... A simple kind and sincere remark can change how a person feels about himself.
6. The gift of a favor... Every week try to do at least one small act of kindness outside your family.
7. The gift of a cheerful disposition... The easiest way to feel good is to extend kind word to someone look him or her in the eye and speak kindly from the heart with sincerity.
