The joy of giving

Every day, we get to give the gift of life. It can be painful. It can be terrifying. But in the end, it's worth it; Every time. 

We all have the opportunity to give. [---] Maybe the gift is to try and make a simple apology. Maybe it's to understand another person's point of view. Maybe it's to hold a secret for at friend. 

The joy supposedly is in the giving. So when the joy is gone, when the giving starts to feel more like a burden, that's when you stop. 

But if you're like most people I know, you give 'til it hurts. 
And then you give some more.
