I kind of wish that I could take at least part of the goodness that I have right now and give it to the folks I know who are hurting.
At least, while things are smooth here, it means I have enough spare energy and strength to try to be there for those who might not....
I would definitely see that as you taking part of your life's goodness and giving it to other folks. At a guess & depending on situation, it probably includes you giving smiles, time, ear, perhaps shoulder-to-cry-on, hugs, but possibly also lifts, small things you can spare, baked or cooked goodies etc sometimes. Also, don't underestimate the good it can do sometimes to see a friend doing well and being happy for them. Also, that sometimes makes it easier to unburden oneself, if one doesn't have to feel the potential listener is running so close to the edge of their cope that burdening them with one's own problems would just be too much.
I'm glad to read things are going well for you. Admittedly, there's a little bit of envy on some points, but I can live with that, and without it distorting me, I think. ;)
