I’ve been thinking about generosity quite a bit lately…

recently a friend treated me to dinner and another one to lunch… such a gift;-)…

when I think of generosity, I think of generosity of spirit, kindness, and sharing the wealth as much as possible…

I think of my dad, who taught me to be kind and treat people nicely… he would have given anyone the shirt off his back…

I remember whenever he or my mom were sick and in hospital, it would be my job to fetch nuts and chocolates from Morden’s to share with the staff… that was something we did to thank individuals and groups for their help…

many years ago a colleague suggested that I did nice things for others to get attention and compliments… they were not able to understand that this generosity habit was part of who I am…

thanking those around me just seems to be ingrained in me…

for many years I would treat colleagues to flowers, chocolate and/or nuts, or something else I made, to celebrate special events… often my anniversaries or birthday… it was always great to see their enjoyment of whatever the treat happened to be…

it also brings much happiness and always reminds me of my dad…

nowadays, I am working toward sharing with others in as many ways as I can…

what makes you generous;-)…
