This simple checklist can help measure how you
Are nurturing your relationships.
1. The Gift of Listening …
But you must really listen.
Don't interrupt, don't daydream,
And don’t plan your response. Just listen.
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 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.
5. The Gift of a Favor …
Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.
Good deeds are cool.
6. The Gift of a Written Note …
it can be a simple "Thanks for your help" note,
Or a longer expression of your appreciation for
That person being in your life. A brief handwritten
note May be remembered for a lifetime.
7. 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.
8. The Gift of a Cheerful Disposition …
The easiest way to feel good is to extend a
Kind word to someone.
These are eight important ways we can contribute
toward whole and healthy Relationships.
They cost nothing, yet they may well be the most
Valuable gifts We can ever offer another person.
