It's hard to believe but Christmas was just six weeks ago! The
credit card bills are probably reminding you of that! It seems the excitement
of Christmas is all but a memory and we're in the midst of dragging through
the cold, dreary days of winter.
But then comes along this bright little celebration....Valentine's Day!!
<>On this day of sharing love and adoration to those you care about may I
recommend some gift ideas?
What? Spend more money? Dennis, you idiot - - I'm trying to pay off my
Christmas expenses!
Well - calm down for just a brief moment. The gift ideas I'm thinking of
won't cost you a penny and you will reap many, many benefits. Pick a 'gift'
from the list below and share it with someone. I'm sure you'll know the
perfect person to give it to!!
- Mend a quarrel
- Seek out a forgotten friend
- Write a long overdue love note
- Hug someone tightly and whisper 'I love you'
- Forgive an enemy
- Express appreciation
- Release a grudge
- Take a walk with a friend
- Lessen your demand on others
- Apologize if you were wrong
- Turn off the television and talk
- Pray for someone who helped you when you hurt
- Encourage someone
May your gifts be given and received with joy and love!!
