As you know, I’m holding contests both here and on Fiction Scribe because I’m celebrating my first wedding anniversary. It’s more than that, though, because I have been waiting for a reason to hold a big contest on my sites for a while.

I love holding contests and giving things away. I love giving people presents. That’s why on this week’s Thursday Thirteen, I thought I would talk about the…

13 Things I Love About Paying It Forward

1. Seeing other people smile.
2. How I feel when I hear/read people say, “Me? But I don’t win anything.�
3. I just plain love giving things away. I wish I had a million dollars just to spend on presents for other people.
4. Making other people’s lives easier (in the case of giving money/gift certificates).
5. I have a lot of joy and love in my life and I like the feeling of giving back.
6. I like making other people happy.
7. Often, people who deserve it don’t spoil themselves very often. I like being able to give those little luxury things they wouldn’t buy for themselves.
8. Everyone needs a little more chocolate in their lives.
9. You don’t get a lot of things for free these days and a lot of people work too darn hard for what little they do get.
10. Giving is definitely a good conversation starter.
11. Have I mentioned how much I like giving people presents?
12. I like showing people I care.
13. Good karma.
