Generosity is one of the more significant things we can bring to our relationships. What we give to others willingly lets our partners, our children, or our friends, know that we value them. There are so many ways we can give of ourselves, whether that is in terms of time, of helping each other out, of being present and listening to each other.

My wonderful spouse and I like to find each other small gifts that the other will appreciate; a book, a perfect leaf, a movie, a scented rose, love notes or music, gifts of service or help with a project, comfy socks or gloves. Truly, the list is endless, but that’s not the bit that matters. The important thing about these small gifts is that it tells us that we are in each other’s minds and hearts as we move through our day, and through the world.
