How did you give today?

What if, right now, a large number of people were provoked to behave in a way which made other people feel inspired; positive; resourceful; confident; loved and happy. What would happen if in one weeks time a group of individuals decided to get creative and with loving intention  give in a way that would cause other people to be grateful? Possibly a simple post to a simple blog would be enough to stimulate action.

Gratitude is reflected in attitude and attitude is the mast of every one's ship. Feeling grateful is expansive. It stretches awareness and unifies, if only for a moment, beyond the limiting sense of self. Gratitude requires awareness of being thankful for something or someone beyond "I". Gratitude is unifying.

Giving can prove challenging, what, how or when to give often poses enough of an obstacle that following through with the idea of giving may pass to the wayside. Considerations such as, "How will I be taken?" or "I don't want them to think that ...." may void intention before it is set into play.

Have you ever told a stranger how beautiful they are without having ulterior motives, such as a date or getting out of the "dog house"?  Have you ever discovered a note posted somewhere obvious that expresses something unusual, constructive and sweet.
