Free brings "freedom"

We always think that we need to buy, wrap and present expensive and thoughtful gifts to one another at this time of year. Well let me tell you that a simple smile, timely word, a hug or even a wink can be a beautiful gift that you can give unconditionally. Ever notice the grumpy faces out there shopping for the "happiest" time of the year. People are poor, stressed, angry, agitated...you name it...you'll bump into one. You can be the light, the buffer, the spark that changes all that negative energy around people. SMILE.....hum a tune....put a skip in your step...say excuse me...thank you...you're doing a great job...yes I can wait for a minute. Sometimes these are foreign words and they should NOT be! Take your manners with you when you go out. Make someone's day. Brighten up someones life. You can make a difference and it won't cost you a penny. They say you reap what you sew....so maybe....just maybe...you will get that kindness returned to you by some other gracious person out there just doing their shopping today. Be blessed.
