Words We Love to Hear (and Often Don't)

Here are a few words we always love to hear, but which often go unspoken:

1. I love you.
2. You look really nice.
3. Can I help you?
4. What would you like me to do?
5. You look tired.  Why don't you let me finish?
6. Excuse me, I didn't mean to do or say that.
7. I'm sorry.
8. Tell me what's troubling you.
9. How do you feel about such and such?
10. Where would you like to go?
11. What TV program would you like to watch?
12. Don't worry about (it).  We'll find a way to work it out.

And I'm sure there are others.  But a few of these used liberally can smooth over many a troubled moment and bring far more smiles than moments of resentment for being ignored, unappreciated, and feeling unloved.  Best of all, none of them cost a penny.  Just a moment of consideration and love.
