There may be an equality in how much you receive in life and how much you give, but it s not with the same people. I have a friend who does not have much and I find I often give her a meal or a few extra groceries or whatever I can spare. She thinks I m generous. I feel like a leech. I guess life s like that.
Nobody sees the full roundness of our personalities.
And for those who do realize that I am not spending much when I give, I hope they also see that I want to be generous, that my heart s wish is to help them and that frugal generosity still is sort of generous. B. G. Markstad is a mother of four in Calgary, Canada.
