Got sick and had to be on the receiving end of some generosity
Enjoyed giving to make up some care packages of necessities and self-care items for the homeless
And decided to quit my part time job and move into massage therapy full time (my last day is almost a month away, but notice has been given)
It's been a lesson in not only giving, but receiving and trusting that my needs will be met along the way. It was odd that in a month when I had decided to focus on being more generous, I was in a position where I needed someone to be generous to me. Bill did just that, he took such good care of me. The last time I felt that cared for and loved when I was sick.... I was a little kid and my mom was taking care of me.
I want to be rich in friends, rich in giving, rich in the amount of people whose lives have been improved because I was here... But never so proud that I can not accept generosity from others.
Refusing to accept the generosity of others IS STEALING. It robs the other person of the joy of giving and the good karma that comes with it.
