THE GIFT OF GIVING!

December 6, 2011 2 Comments

“What you keep to yourself you lose,what you give away you keep forever.”Alex Munthe.

Ti’s the season to give.Be thoughtful, think of those you see weekly or daily who you don’t really know but yet they are part of your life.Like your mailman or that postal clerk who always greets you with a smile,or perhaps you get gas where they still fill your tank for you and the attendant knows you by sight but not by name.Or your DRYCLEANERS who unconditionally will always have that garment ready at your beck and call……………those are the people Iam talking about.Surprise them this year with a gift!Show them that you do care and appreciate them……………Believe me you will feel great and they will never forget YOU!This is the season to give………………JUST DO IT!I promise you will not regret it.Hairdressers,mailman,bank tellers,grocery clerks,all those people you see who know you by sight but perhaps not by name.Give them a gift………………they deserve it!

    I could not agree with you more my Dear. Your sentiment is a perfect example of how absolutely gracious you are. Your suggestion has been duly noted and will be happily carried out.
    Thank you!

    Isn’t it true? In this part of France it is customary and expected to give a bit of a tip to such folks but why not add on a personal present as well? 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration, as always!
