Hello all,

I just wanted to start this forum off with a very special story I just found at one of my favorite blogs. This is a truly moving story of giving. What is given is such a wonderful gesture I think you will all agree.

Here is the site: http://www.reason4smile.com/2008/07/02/one-lesson-from-my-grandma/

Take a look and let me know what you think. Bear in mind the writer does not have English as a first language.

And for this first post something from Treasures Gift Book

 The truth about giving is we don't need a special day, holiday, or time of year to be kind to others."

Tip On Giving


One of the simplest things you can give to another, is a hand written note. I try to send two minium a week. I create my own using Publisher, and I also keep a stack of Thank You cards, which I collect, next to my desk.


The best gift you can give is a smile.
