"the fragrance always remains in the hand that gives the rose".

This year with the Holidays soon approaching give the gift of Giving and Gratitude.

1. Give of yourself 
 Give generously of your time buy someone a coffee, lend a friend a hand, drop off someone on your way home. Change the direction of your usual pattern and stop and go the other way. The change to yourself is often the most unexpected of gifts. 

2. Speak words of Gratitude and Thanks
Tell the ones who support you how much you appreciate them, whether it be friend or spouse, child or co-worker. Go the long mile.... pick up the phone and make that call. Drop off an unexpected gift or coffee, make dinner for someone.

3. Mend the broken
 You just might mend your own as you go. Do the unexpected for not only the ones you love but the ones who you don't. Call that person whom you put on the back-burner, the one you said you would never call again. Donate to a charity that you don't belong to, often the ones who need us most are friends who are to proud to ask. The single mother or family who is struggling, or a church. Be a friend or a comfort to others, loneliness silently breaks the soul.

Start the gift of Giving and Gratitude today..... take the test.... do it for 30 days and let me know what happens.....  I look forward to your comments.
 This year for Christmas reach-deeper than your pockets -reach for your hearts.

Heda bejar-- said it best..... "the fragrance always remains in the hand that gives the rose".
Let your hands this year tell your story......
