Some people just "get it"

I often wonder what makes some people so giving, so thoughtful, so....nice....and with some other people...you think..." what the...!"
We have been fortunate to have built our house next door to quite possibly one of the nicest families I have ever met. The husband is a complete energizer bunny, always outside diligently taking care of his house and always there to lend a helping hand. He is just plain and simply awesome. His wife is an equal gem. Caring, funny, sincere. This couple just get it. Is it nature or nurture that builds such character. I believe it's both inherent as well as up to parents to create a well adjusted person. From the very beginning we can teach our kids to share and have empathy. To understand that giving is just as rewarding as receiving may be difficult for a child to grasp but why not give it a shot and plant the seed early.

 I don't think I actually "got it" until I was 30...but hey! better late than never! It truly was one of those "ah ha" moments. It wasn't just maturity that flicked the switch, but a very wise soul who taught me so many things..giving being one of them. Thanks Andy.

Anyway back to my point..(I think I have one?)...People can change and grow...often the best way..is to shower them with love and  kindness. It's infectious!
