As life trials keep on trying to intrude into our lives, many things can be given to others to produce happiness.  Not only do those things give happiness to others, but give the gifter a present as well when those lessons are learned.  The day might have started out in Eugene, Oregon as one you might just need some happiness draped on it for you to get through,  Hopefully someone is reading this to give some to you soon.

     A listening ear when someone has a heartache that needs to be said aloud to another person allows that pain to be shared.  By admitting that pain to a confidant, it stays quiet without being repeated to anyone else yet some is taken away.  The safety of telling a trusted friend remains secure. It is replaced with a clearing out of that ill allowing for healing and happiness to have that spot instead.

     Encouragement when a job is well done sparks self worth, self confidence and frees that person to, in turn know the value of that act too. Learning by the example that is given is a treasured tool for life experiences.  It is this kind of lesson that can be done to anyone if a person looks close enough to find the goodness even if it is hidden.

     Silence is required when the words escape a person.  There are times that quiet is what is needed more than any words could ever convey.  Your presence is the best present even if it is through the keyboard, a phone or other modes.

     The teamwork of sharing a load of any type can lighten that day, week or life load when help is honestly offered.  It does not take knowing someone well to be part of the solution rather than adding to a problem.

     A true compliment can brighten a dismal day for anyone.  Since it is not always known what each person has been through,  it is a wise person who searches out the valuable statements to bring happiness to another.

     Appreciation can be shown in many ways to those willing to be open to mention them.  A welcoming thank you is easy to say and does so much when it is meaningfully stated.

      A kind deed done for anyone might just be something the person was able to do for themselves, yet it brings much more happiness when it is done by another.

     When life seems like a tug of war, happiness can be lavished on to make the fight tolerable until the battle is over.  A favorite saying, some funny quip or a solid hand on the shoulder proving you are in their corner means everything.  The victory does not even have to fall in your lap because it is the way someone fought that meant more than the final outcome. 

     It is when we realize the happiness things that can be given to others and genuinely give those without needing anything in return that the "WOW" can be loudly heard.
