Stages of Happiness Brought by Expressing Generosity

Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression.
1. We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous.
2. We experience joy in the actual act of giving something.
3. And we experience joy in remembering the fact that we have given.

Generous Ginger
When I re - read this quote this AM, I thought about last night while eating dinner at my cousins Ginger's house. Her husband Randall mentioned a seafood feast we had cooked for them last year. I experienced joy upon remembering and told them we would prepared another seafood buffett before they leave Thursday. I experienced happiness at inviting them. And I know I will experience happiness preparing and serving them bringing more good memories.
