gifts



A good friend of mine presented me with a poster:

8 Gifts
Eight gifts that do not cost a cent:

Listening..

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

Affection..

Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back and handholds.

Laughter..

Share articles and funny stories.

A written note..

A brief handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime.

A compliment..

A simple and sincere compliment can make someone's day.

A favour..

Go out of your way to do something kind.

Solitude..

Be sensitive to others.

A cheerful disposition..

Extend a kind word to someone.

    Sometimes a small gesture means a lot to the person receiving it!

Twin bananas

Image
Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
