--1.  THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION:
     The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind
     cheery word to someone.  It's really not so hard
     to say, "Hello" or "Thank you."

--2.  THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT:
     You can really brighten someone's day with a simple
     and sincere, "You look great in red," "That was a
     terrific dinner," or "You did a super job."

--3.  THE GIFT OF LISTENING:
     To be a good listener you must REALLY listen.  Let
     the other person speak with no interrupting, no
     daydreaming, no planning your response...just
     listening!  

--4.  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.

--5.  THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER:
     Share your laughter and humor by clipping cartoons,
     jokes, articles and funny stories.  Your gift will
     say, "I love to laugh with you!"

--6.  THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE:
     You can send someone a simple note that says,
     "Thanks for the help," or a poem, story, or any kind
     of upbeat message.  The most brief, handwritten note
     can be remembered for a lifetime, and even change a
     life, you just never know.

--7.  THE GIFT OF A FAVOR:
     Every day, go out of your way to do something kind
     for someone else. There are plenty of opportunities
     for you to do something nice for a friend, relative,
     or co-worker on a daily basis.  Show the love of
     Christ with your acts of kindness to others.  Let
     them see Jesus in you.

--8.  THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE:
     There a times when we all want nothing better than
     to be left alone.  Be sensitive to those times and
     give the gift of solitude to others.
