Joy of Anonymous Giving

"There is no greater gift than that of giving of one's time and energy

to help others, without expecting anything in return."

Purls of Wisdom

Gratefulness.org

Gratefulness.org posted a film by the Green Renaissance entitled, "Purls of Wisdom".   The most gentle woman was addressing the ability to give for the sake of giving without expectation of reward.  Her outlook was simple and contagious.

"The Purls of Wisdom" ignited the sense of joy in the act of giving.  No matter how creative or how boring we find ourselves to be, we can at least think of one thing to offer.  Maybe this will trigger some intentions:  

Favorite book left in a public restroom;  

Pick flowers from yard, place in jar of water, leave on random porch;

Unearth the old fan from the garage, anonymously place it on a porch where needed; 

Ask a neighboring teen to mow grass or clean windows giving a reward; 

Make cookies or lemonade for children playing outside; 

Play piano for nursing home; 

Rock babies in hospital; 

Read to the blind; 

Knit scarves or hats to be left outside for others this winter; 

Volunteer options are endless, unique surprises memorable.
