"If nature has made you for a giver,
your hands are born open, and so is your heart; and though there may be times
when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things
out of that -- warm things, kind things, sweet things -- help and comfort and
laughter -- and sometimes gay, kind laughter is the best help of all."
~ Frances Hodgson Burnett
Sometimes,
particularly when we feel overwhelmed, it may seem that we have nothing to
give. But if we can just step out of our
own "stuff" for even a moment and reach out to someone else, whatever
we can give -- a smile, laughter... -- will certainly lift our own spirits.
