Check out this article I found today that discusses the benefits of giving to others.  The article primarily focusses on financial giving and how good people feel when they give money or gifts to others.  Kinda like that great feeling I get when I find the “perfect” gift for someone at Christmas and watching their face light up when they open it.  Seriously, that feeling can be captured year round!  Giving of yourself provides huge happiness benefits!  Don’t believe me?  Try it. 

    Better yet, try it when you are pissed off about something.  Try it when you are having a crappy day.  Try it when you are feeling blue or just can’t seem to make anything go right one day.  Take the focus off of how YOU are feeling and put it on what will make someone else happy.  You’ll love the results.  Now go on, dang it, give and be happy!
