Giving...

GIVING...it's something we all do everyday whether you're conscience of it or not. GIVING is not limited to GIVING to others, GIVING to yourself is something that everyone should do daily. Allow yourself to take what your soul needs to regenerate. But lately GIVING has taken on a much deeper meaning.
The conception of  ReGenerationAngeleno and the endless memories that it brings to life are even more vivid. GIVING is something that I would like to highlight in my writing. Not because I want to "pat myself on the back" and post a list of my own GIVING, that I want recognition for, but because I am proud to know that I have for the most part spent my life giving without expectation, recognition or needing praise. But GIVING because I felt strongly about it being something I needed to do. Maybe some times others may look upon a person who is too giving as a pushover...or a victim waiting to happen. But its a victim mentality that makes a victim. Expectations attached to giving, will surely disappoint. GIVING is something that should be done with the purest of intentions, knowing that your offering a gift to another and wish for kindness to be paid forward. I wish to view giving as something that feels right to do, if you feel it strongly enough. Not for self motives.

This tiny twist on GIVING is something that I wish to pay forward and Re-Generate...

GIVING with pure intentions far outweighs, GIVING with the intentions of getting something in return. I may be showing my age here, but sadly I have watched first hand many incidents of GIVING with the wrong intentions. There has to be a distinction between giving with blatant manipulation and self promotion in mind and a true giver. My wish is to "not see" these self promoting "Givers", thank you very much. But would rather live happily simply trusting and knowing that GIVING is being carried out everywhere all the time. Knowing that I could trust the world to demonstrate this GIVING mentality. Now that is something to think about...

Now may be the perfect time for me to remember all of our Military who have are "GIVING" the ultimate gift, by protecting our rights and freedoms. Your "GIVING" may be the exception to the rule, the one that I can say truly deserves recognition, "pats on the back" and any other kind of THANKS we can give!

So with that said ReGenerationAngeleno would like to thank our US Military and their families for the Ultimate gift in GIVING.  

Practice GIVING daily.

Peace, Love and Regeneration...
