I was inspired by this thread:

https://permies.com/t/130685/Happy-giving-Tuesday

Here are some quotes:

   “I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.” – Maya Angelou.
   “Happiness doesn't result from what we get, but from what we give.” – Ben Carson.
   “Always give without remembering and always receive without forgetting.” – Unknown.

I like to give my time rather than money.

Today I am giving my time to the people of this forum, (just like I do every day.)

Giving should be a year round thing.

Were picky about giving money and most of the time we do our research before giving.  IMO their are to many non profits that only a small % makes it to the cause.  I know I look at things differently as a small business owner.  I do not want to get to deep into this, but I could.  

We do have a list of semi local (60 miles) places that I help out.

I will also do nice things randomly to people we run into that are in need when were out and about.    
 
It's a tiny ad. At least, that's what she said.
