How to Communicate Love Part3: Gifts

Okay so we talked about words and actions that show love, but there is another way to communicate love and that's with gifts.  Does your gift need to be an expensive trinket or token?  Not at all.  In fact, the most precious gifts don't cost much at all!  What they do cost is thought, time and preparation. I have an incredible niece. She's a treasure.  She recently had her 16th birthday and I wanted to give her something special.  Instead of a nice article of clothing or an expensive piece of jewelry, I created a photo album for her to keep her memories in.  I purchased a special photo album in her favorite colors and filled the first few pages...

Happy Birtl Day, Chris!

Today is my son's 13th birthday and I had planned to dispense with my usual discussion of communication to share a little bit about him with my readers.  Here's part of what I had planned to share.  This is a very fuzzy picture of him winning the Youth Cart Racing League over at K1 Racing.  He holds the undefeated title of fastest lap ever at that location in all the years they have been open.  This includes some professional race car drivers!  I'd already shared about my daughter's recent college graduation so I thought I'd give equal time to my son.

Tomorrow's my birthday...
