My mother always said
it is better to give
then to receive.
She taught me to give,
but she did not teach
me about the what
and the when
of giving.
Sometimes what we can give
is not what people need
or when they need it.
Sometimes what is needed
in that moment of time
is not something we can give
no matter how much we want to.
It’s about the types
and the timing.
It’s about being the right person
at the right moment
with the ability to give
the right gift
It’s not about the gift itself,
but about it
being the time for
the gift
to be a gift
and not just
an offering
which is not
fully appreciated
