Give until it feels good
December 7th, 2009 | Author: Antonette
I love this time of year because it is ideal for someone with my condition –
the giving condition.
I have always enjoyed showering my friends, family, and
even complete strangers with random acts of kindness. Just a few days ago I had
the double pleasure of treating my mom to some delicious ice cream, and then blowing
away the stand worker with a tip toward her “Tips for College” fund. These
things are great for the getter, but are absolutely awesome for me. I must
admit that I do them a little selfishly. I love seeing the look on people’s
faces when I surprise them with an act of giving.
The Holiday season is usually the time we take to do
outward expressions of kindness. And, I’m going to highly advocate that you do.
Nonprofits are hurting during this economic crunch time. Reach outside of your
family and friends and give to a charitable organization this year. Consider
donating time and things, but mostly money as that is what they really need.
They need our $5 here and there. Because as you know with pennies, they add up!
So, if you want to find a charitable organization to give
to, or check on the credibility of one, here are a few resources: Better
Business Bureau, Guide Star, and American Institute of Philanthropy. Then you
can consider making giving a family or group event. Gather your best friends, and
suggest that you give to a charitable organization instead of exchanging
Christmas presents this year!
