' Seven Gifts To Give A Friend ' !
The Gift of Love
May you find love in your family and your friends.
And may you share the love you have to give.
When you share your love, it comes back to you in many forms.
“ Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within the reach of every hand. ”
The Gift of Laughter
May laughter fill your home, relieve your stress, and strengthen your friendships.
Do not let a day go buy without laughing; it is good for your health.
“ Laughter is a tranquilizer with no side effects. ”
The Gift of Living Each Day to The Fullest
Every day is a gift, and may you use this gift by living life to the fullest.
You will never have this day again.
What will you do with it ?
“ Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
And today ?
Today is a gift.
That’s why we call it the present. ”
The Gift of Not Worrying
May your days be worry-free.
If you find yourself worrying about something then fix it.
If it is beyond your control, then there is no sense in worrying about it.
90% of what you worry about will never happen, so why worry !
“ I’ve seen many troubles in my time, only half of which ever came true. ”
The Gift of Positive Thinking
May you find the good in all situations, even if you have to look for it – look because it is there.
No matter what happens in your life, find the good.
Your life will be a happier one.
“ Every problem has a gift for you in its hands. ”
The Gift of Balance in Your Life
May you find the balance of life, time for work but also time for play.
Too much of one thing ends up creating stress that no one needs in their life.
“ Live a balanced life learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing
and dance and play and work every day some.”
The Gift of Goal Setting
May all your dreams turn into goals.
Goals will help you accomplish things you may have thought impossible.
“ If you have a goal in life that takes a lot of energy, that requires a lot of work, that incurs a great deal of interest and that is a challenge to you, you will always look forward to waking up to see what the new day brings. ”

A hard one for me is \"not worrying\". I\'m getting better at living in the present day rather than in vain regrets over the past. Now I must focus on living the present day without worrying about the future!
