This was sent to me by a friend and I thought I would pass it 
along to a group of friends who can appriciate the value of what 
is said here.

Eight Gifts That Do Not Cost A Cent
      
      
      1) THE GIFT OF LISTENING...
      But you must REALLY listen.
      No interrupting, no daydreaming,
      no planning your response.
      Just listening.
      
      
      2) 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.
      
      
      3) THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER...
      Clip cartoons.
      Share articles and funny stories.
      Your gift will say "I love to laugh with you."
      
      
      4) 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.
      
      
      5) 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.
      
      
      6) THE GIFT OF A FAVOR...
      Every day, go out of your way
      to do something kind.
      
      
      7) 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.
      
      
      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.
      
      
      
      Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile
      and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a 
      word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.
      
     Show your friends how much you care.
     Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND.
