Nothing was ever done purposely by me.I would just be me in chat.Cripe I would yap to all in the open rooms,do my poetry and zaniness and find out much later how many lives just being me I had touched. I was so humbled and touched by all they gave back to me even tho they would say,no it was I that had lifted thier spirits,thier hearts,made thier lifes brighter.So many dear friends have been made across the world on this wire. I have cried tears and sent flowers to funerals of my friends,I have had thier children write me and send me gifts,as were sent to by me to them. If they only knew how lonely and alone I was, until turning on this webtv to be greeted by smiling words on a screen. We use nicnames in chat I have been so blessed,a famous jazz piano artist has written a composition about me.My nicname is on his other cd jacket also.I told him I could now die happy as I was finally famous because of him. But he replied,No he was finally composing because of me. So you see folks,we do not need riches or gifts or money all we need is the other side of 'Glass Words'the side that does not cut and wound like a sharp and deadly shard but the beautiful shiny fragment that scintilates,shimmers and uplifts anothers life. Just be you,give of you. ~Peace of Heart Always~ MistyCool-Mary Ann-Marushka I used to think I needed to give gifts and money and things but from being on-line and going into chatrooms over the past nine years,I have found even from just typed words you can give so much.

First, I was raised that it is better to give than receive. My greatest joys are seeing someone's eyes light up, their heart ready to burst, that I was able to "give" to them. I have very little, and in debt tremendously from my medical bills. But you can always find some way to bless someone. A coat you no longer use, blankets I store in the back of my car, washed and repaired, which I give to homeless sleeping on the sidewalks. I've given my lunch to kids in our lobby who were crying they were hungry (I work for Social Services), as well as to the homeless. I have emptied my cupboards for the single mom with little ones. Donated blood when I was still able to. (leukemia) I constantly "recycle" my teen's jeans and sneakers he's outgrown to someone who I think can use them, and if I don';t know of anyone, to a shelter. I give my time to causes, I drive my neighbor shopping and to doctor appointments, I have let numerous people live with me over the years. I babysit for free for struggling moms, giving them a break once in a while. I bake cookies and give them, as well as "leftovers" (purposely make too much) to those on fixed income. I am not a saint, nor do I have any desire to pat myself on the back. I just wanted to share ideas for "giving". It's a way of life. Basic generosity and caring. Seeing how much you do have and what others need. Finding a need and fulfilling it. Loving others and showing the Lord your thanks for His blessings on your life. It makes your life rich. Blessings to you. Happy days. Well, I so believe in this whole philosophy.

Sometimes I want the person to know it was me, but I keep the urge to myself. There is nothing wrong with the good feeling in your heart after a good deed, but it should stay in your heart. That is one way to grow in your spirit and soul. Blessings I believe in giving and in good deeds, but I also believe in them being anonymous.

Some can just give more because they either have more things to give or they are not in a financial situation that limits the giving. I have given in many ways....I have helped my sister in continuing school by giving her money for her books...I have given clothes to a coworker that I did not even know because she lost her house to a fire and had a husband and three kids. I give my time to others that need it to just talk about things that they might be bothered with. So my opinion is that no matter what we are always giving it just might not look or feel like it all the time. Most recently I have given my home to an exchange student that was going to be sent back home because they could not find anyone to take him. This made me feel great and I am very thankful that I was at the right spot when he needed help. I always say that things happen for a reason and we just need to find out what that reason is.
