Words from a Simple Heart You were generous with your time. You went out of your way and put yourself out. In the end, the person you were assisting didn't better their circumstance or put your help to good use. You were let down. You were generous with your love. You gave it openly and said all the right words. In the end, your affection was spurned, let go, or betrayed. You were hurt. You were generous with your kindness. You spoke warmly and complimented often. In the end, your positive attitude was met with cynicism or sarcasm. You felt dejected. If you remain stuck and stubborn, focusing on the return for you investment, you'll continue to be let down, hurt and dejected. If you move on and live to give again, your generosity will find its way back to you. For every person who doesn't appreciate your time, your love or your kindness, there's another person who'd accept your generosity of spirit with heartfelt gratitude. A generous light spreads. It fills the world with time for caring, love for sharing and kindness with no sparing. You'll be remembered for the parts of yourself you gave away, not for the possessions you received.... in the end. Living in love and loving life, Terri McPherson Kath <mzmouser@earthlink.net> ~`* `*' `*' `* `*' `*' *' `*' *' `*' `* `*' *' `*' ~~~
