| Hand Painted Love Piece For Me |
I had a wonderful first two weeks in June. My mother and brother visited me from half way round the world. Also, I'm very fortunate to constantly receive love and encouragement in multiple forms from Carrie, my extended family, and close friends.
Dr. Gary Chapman and Dr. Paul White identified five languages of appreciation. These languages can be applied to relationships, marriages, and the workplace.
Words of Affirmation （肯定的话语）
A simple "Good Job" or "I appreciate it" goes a long way.
Quality Time （精心的时刻）
Undivided attention and deep listening are key.
Acts of Service （服务的行动）
A child will never forget his father giving him piggyback rides. What about cooking a meal for your loved ones?
Tangible Gifts （爱的礼物）
Flowers for V-Day seldom go wrong. Personalized gifts and cards are even better.
Physical Touch （身体的接触）
Say goodbye with a hug and encourage with a pat on the shoulder.
Which ones do your prefer? What about those around you?
Thanks very much for reading.
