Some people by nature are true givers. They know instinctively what you need before you even realize you need it, and they are there to give it to you. The true art of being a giver, is to give, without expecting anything in return. It is to be totally unselfish. The reward is not the praise the giver receives, or the accolades, but the comfort in knowing that your act of giving "kindness" can make the difference in a positive way in the givee's life.
I write this because I am a proud mother of a wonderful daughter who is the ultimate "Giver". My beautiful daughter Danielle is an amazingly unselfish Giver, who does so much for so many people, and expects nothing in return. She gives because she has so much love for the people she gives to. Her friends, her family, the people she works for, all receive her acts of giving "kindness's", because, when she cares for someone, she would move heaven and earth to make their lives happy and fulfilled.
I want to "Give" her this today....I want to tell her, that I see all she does, and I know she expects nothing in return, but she has my unconditional love, and pride....and I just thought today, I would dedicate my blog to her....because she gives me so much, and she has been giving me so much joy since the day she was born.
She obviously learned it from you!! You are amazing, and you have passed along your amazing qualities to your kids.
