    First - giving them a warm smile
    2nd - anything I see needs attention - I feel great when someone offers help to me too :)

    I can't think of a specific thing but I'm a giver not a taker in general...always have been.

    Making others happy (especially loved ones) was and is my top priority.

    I'm also generous even though I don't have much...if I have an extra $100 and you need it, I'll give it to you.

    Hope this doesn't make me sound like a saint, because I'm not, lol.

    I have my faults...lots of them. :)

    My wife use to be a "giver", but I've taught her how to be both a "giver" and "taker".

    I do quite a lot of things for others but I have found that one of the nicest things I can do for them is let them do some things for me. It makes them feel good.

    I'll do anything for the grands and the great-grand. They're our future and I want them to have happy and full childhoods.

    Living in a third world country gives you a different point of view. Thinking I am better off than most people here my first impression was to help and be generous but then I learned you can do more harm than good. For example if you have someone working for you and one day you give them twice the wage they probably will not show up tomorrow because they have the money.
    I have found how I can help with teaching healthy living and how to get rid of chronic diseases and live healthier.

    I like to share some of the meals I cook with others. There are a few single people that live around us and when I make my big pots of soups, gumbos, spaghetti, etc. than there is always way to much for just my Honey and me so I will put some aside for those singles. I also like helping my family out when they need a hand too. I'm definitely a giver but I've learned to ask when I need help too.

    Not sure about being a giver but in my caring role for my elderly mother I like it when I get thanked for the meals I prepare times every day.Mind you,there's a lot of ready meals supplemented with fresh veg.

    Good with the fresh veg but be careful you're not giving her too much salt in those ready meals.... :) How old is she ?
