Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Hot Soup and Uplifting Stories


--by lynp, posted Dec 15, 2010

I'm feel I am coming down with a cold.  And have been feeling sorry for myself and not feeling very generous today. 

When I arrived home after work, I learned that my hubby had prepared some homemade turkey and rice soup.  He has been "taking care" of me all evening.

As I sit here and read the wonderful stories shared by the members, I realize that I am feeling so very blessed at the moment.  The generosity of others all around me has created a huge internal shift.

This is what giving is all about. :)

Bluebell wrote: You made me smile when you said "I am not feeling very generous today" often we see generosity towards ours, how about the generosity towards oneself? Taking time to rest, and allowing your body to recover, accepting the kindness that is being offered to you, they are all acts of generosity. Have a harmonious recovery.
