how do you show your appreciation?

I was just thinking about appreciation being shown. I do not need to be appreciated for the things that I do but I do appreciate everything done for me or given me. I make sure to thank the person for this and that. Cheers!!

generally stick to a good old "thank you i appreciate it"

Hi! Yes there is, I am the same way. If we are close then I will fix a meal a favorite of theirs or if I see something that they would like maybe buy it and give as a thank you gift. We need to show our appreciation and it also helps us in a way because we show our appreciation and they feel appreciated and will be more inclined to help when we are in need again. Sometimes a smile,hug and a thank you is enough but when it isn't it is always nice to get them a small surprise. It helps brighten their day also.

what I have to offer is a listening ear, anyone can come to me with their problems, and I also write and bring a lot of pleasure into the homes of people who read my work on the net.

Hi Grace how are you? I'm back on and playing catch up. So I would just try to help some one if I can. I always try to make them smile. And if I have money and they need it I will give it. Some times I shouldn't but I do. I make dinner and invite them over as well. You have a good day. Sorry it is so late. Your friend onlydia

When I was still in college, I have this friend of mine who always help me in times of trouble. We knew each other since high school and I can say that we had been and still having good friendship even we separate ways in college. I still remember that there comes the time when I am having a problem going home after schooling because of my very tight schedule in the university. We finished so late and the weather is very bad during those times. Because of that, I asked my friend if I can stay on their house even for a week just because of the bad weather. She and her family welcomed me in their house.Her parents treats me like I am one of their daughter also. I feel so good during those times and was very touch on the way they treat me. After that, I say a lot of thanks to them. In my heart, I know that saying "thanks" is not enough. I want to show more of my appreciation. For example, when there is a special event like Christmas and I have extra money, I buy something for them. It filled my heart with joy to see their happy faces whenever I give something to them. I also tell to them that they are welcome anytime in our house. Most of the time, I tell to my family how great my friend is and also her family. And whenever my friend is here, even I am not in the house, my family always welcome her to show how they appreciate my friend for always being there for me.
