hi guys! There are many ways to show one's appreciation, but the best for me is to invite someone to lunch at home. The food in this should be the best you can. Now adays, giving a pen, flower or any material things is also a common way of expressing one's appreciation. Actually, there is not one particular way to show appreciation to anyone. If someone does something for me that really helps me get thru d day or blesses my life in a way, 1st i would tell a huge thanks. In my case, i try hard to keep a smile on their faces, help them in any way i can, show them that im willing to give as much or more than they are giving ans eventually make myself available whenever they need a shoulder ... What about you guys? Feel free to share Thanks, GRacIe

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!!

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.
