Reflecing on what we can share. . .

Nothing is more attractive than sharing with others. No trait will be admired as much as generosity. There is no surer way to gain the respect of friends and neighbors than to show by what we give that we care about others.

We can give many things besides money, shelter, clothing, or food to those in need. We can give the rich person love and understanding that money can't buy. We can sympathize with those who are troubled, even though they appear wealthier than ourselves. We can share experience, strength, and hope with those who are ill or unhappy. We can even share our suffering with others who suffer, and hold up a light for them on the road to recovery.

What do I have to give today?


My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . .  It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . .  Laureen

immediately coming to my mind is that you offer "perspective" to others- opinion or experience but always given with caring and a nudge!!!!

me- i try to offer, at the very least, a smile because so many ppl around me don't get one otherwise!!!

as always, a great thought provoker!

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.
