So true! thanks, Debbie. The trick for me is to give from a sense of joy and compassion, not grudgingly cause someone caught me at a “bad time.” I get to work on my attitude. I enjoy group giving projects. One time my co-workers and I “made” which involved tying knots in fringe of two blankets — ten quilts to give to a nearby Children’s Hospice. Sharing jokes with a homeless woman was spontaneous giving fun. (they really need a spell checker on here…) and just giving someone your rapt attention is huge. saying yes when we’re busy happens more this time of year…let’s pay it forward!
