I enjoy nothing more than to hand out gifts to make people feel joy. Whether its paying the person behind me in line for their coffee at Starbucks. Or finding a green Sasquatch driving a monster truck t-shirt from a thrift shop to surprise a friend with. The elation it brings is amazing. Physical gifts giving is awesome in it’s own right. However many of us don’t realize that we all have gifts and talents that we can share everyday but we choose to bury them deep, and hide them away. I’m not sure if its pride or the feeling that recipient won’t like it. A smile to a stranger can help them through a rough patch in that moment. Listening intently to a friend in need while drinking some beers at happy hour. Handwriting a letter to mail to your family who lives far away. Singing a song to old Nana, Dorothy McShaw. We all have so many talents and gifts to share in our own way. Come to think of it, maybe the world would be a much better place, if we just shared our gifts for good, and try to bring joy out of people every single day.
