Giving

Happiness is...

Putting time and effort into gifts for loved ones.

Getting gifts is great. Giving is tenfold more fulfilling. To see the look on their face, the smile across their lips, the shine in their eye, it is worth it to know that you can make that happen. I like homemade and heartfelt gifts because they know how much energy went into it. Thinking hard about what they would appreciate the most already begins to bring warmth to my heart.

Gifts. Nothing can compare.
This evening I was spending time on the couch working on one, eagerly anticipating wrapping it up with a giant bow on the top and handing it to someone I care about. Pure bliss.
