The Gift of Generosity

In 12-step recovery we learn that an expectation is a premeditated resentment, so we strive to have no expectations. If we do something generous for someone, and they do not say, "Thank you," we don't take offense because that would be a resentment.

Resentments are toxic, and they hurt only the one who holds them.

So--just for today--do someone a good turn and don't get found out.

The gift of generosity is for the giver, whether any other person appreciates it or not.

When have you been generous? When was someone generous to you? How did you express appreciation? (It's never too late to say, "Thank you.")
