Begin each day with a gift. Before your feet hit the linoleum, give a gift. Say a kind word tot he person who is sleeping with you and putting up with you. Begin each telephone call with a gift. The gift does not have to be monetary. The most powerful important gifts are invisible. Give gifts of caring. Give gifts of attention. Give gifts of affection. Give gifts of appreciation. The first gift that comes to mind is a compliment. Give gifts of recognition. Prepare a gift of kindness before you get to your office. Prepare a gift of kindness before you pick up the receiver. Find something a person did you appreciate. Find something they represent you respect. Find a special skill they possess. TELL THEM! Don't assume it is not important because the smallest of deeds should not go unnoticed.
In this season of giving remember the smallest of things, back to the simple basics of life. You don't have to go into debit to have a GREAT Christmas. As long as you have your health and family with you on this special day you have the best gift of all. I was told this year that all my paretents want for Christmas is for me to be happy, healthy and spend the day with them they don't need any gift because I am the gift.
I wish all my family and friends a very Merry Christmas!
