4.THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE:

It can be a simple "Thanks for your help" note or a full sonnet.

A brief, hand-written 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 green,"

"You did a super job" or

THE GIFT OF A FAVOR:

Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.

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!"
