Mysterious Giving, I Love It!

I have heard in the news and John and Jeff Radio Show about mysterious, anonymous giving and it tickles me pink!  They are not worried about recognition or even a tax deduction receipt.  I do not recall where these happened, but I love the stories and hope to be one of these givers someday.  I get all choked up :).

• People putting $1000 into random Salvation Army buckets.
• A guy standing on a busy street corner handing out hundred dollar bills to people walking by.  I think he spent 6 figures!  (He was smart and had a police officer with him).
• A lady who went into a K-Mart and paid off thousands of dollars of strangers's layaway items that contained toys.

This one's not mysterious, but heartwarming nonetheless.  A small town police station in Texas - the officers went to the local schools and stopped people with stellar driving/car records.  They rewarded them with gift cards for their good behavior.  Nice treat in this day and age where we so often only hear about the bad.

I am certain that there are more stories out there.  These are the ones I can recall without Googling :).

Beautiful, Shiny John Lennon Quotes

•  “When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”

• “Love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep on watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it.” 

•  “Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.” 

• “Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.”

• “Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.”

• “Love is like a flower-you've got to let it grow.”

• “There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”

• “You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.”

• “It's weird not to be weird.”

• “I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people.”

• “When you're drowning you don't think, "I would be incredibly pleased if someone would notice I'm drowning and come and rescue me." You just scream.”

• “Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.”
