The Art of Giving

This week practice the art of giving. It doesn't have to be a special occasion, or a new or expensive gift.
Allow a car to go in front of you, pick up trash at the park, bring a pot of soup to a sick friend, a favorite snack for your child. Give a gift of your time, your heart, your enthusiasm. Be spontaneous... make it a game. Look for one opportunity every couple of hours. Acknowledge a friend for being supportive, appreciate your neighbor for a beautiful flower garden, recite your favorite blessing.
Commit to giving everyday. You can give to strangers, friends, neighbors, coworkers. Generosity is not just the giving of things but the giving of warmth, affection, love, humor.
Perhaps offering these gifts to others will add moments of joy to your life!
Best,
Carol
