From the book The Laughter Prescription, by Laurence Peter, come these four free gifts you can give. While they are free of any cash value, they do cost something in the way of personal commitment.

The Gift of Listening

But you must really listen.  No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response. Just listening. .

The Gift of Laughter

Clip cartoons. Share great articles and funny stories.  Your gift will say, “I love to laugh with you.” .

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.

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.
