Same words or action, different intent: can mean much different outcomes and feelings for all involved.
Asking myself about my true motives is always a good Step 1 check...grateful for the reminders

Thanks Paul for your service and above ESH. Once in a while I do something nice for someone and don't tell I did it. I find myself giggling about it--it's my own little secret! I guess it's fun, like a sneak attack but in a positive way. This program has so many wonderful suggestions for living a good life.

Thank you Paul for your service. I like your link to examining motives... When it pertains to family/friends /coworkers, I struggle at times with not telling someone about my good deed claiming I just want to share the recipient's reaction. Yeah, sure. It's often my attempt to change people's perception of me . I do better with strangers-letting someone go ahead of me in line, returning a lost item or giving money to the homeless. Thank you Debbie-hope you have a positive voting experience and Lyne, your thoughts on a positive sneak attack gave me a giggle.
