Those cookies were so delicious that I, a UCLA undergrad, wanted the whole bag for myself. But as I hoarded and ate, I realized the Diddy Riese cookies from Westwood just weren’t 
so good all by myself. They were much tastier if I ate them (shared them) with another person. Selfishness and greed ruined the treat.
Cookies are the vehicle to philosophy??? What is true of cookies is true of finances, of 
everything you have. When you share with meaningful people, when you share with a meaningful cause, it makes your life much more pleasurable. The reason why Scrooge is such a powerful persona is because he resonates with so many people.
Share today! Don’t wait for the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future to visit you. Break out the stash of cookies and spread around the happiness. Whatever your wealth, whatever your talent, it will be tastier to you if it is shared.

I love the cookie philosophy… If everyone lived by it we would all have enough. Enough everything, even hugs and love.
I think Jesus asked us to do this… No he didn’t say share your cookies specifically but he did say:
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” ~ Luke 6:38
Mustard Seed Budget awesome, the cookie philosophy, what if we would all live, the life of sharing and giving especially during this time of great needs bless u. Edna
We could wax eloquent about how wonderful the world would be. But maybe we might just inspire one or two to live that way.
Sharing is the most wonderful feeling EVER!!
thank you for saying EVER! It expresses elegantly the idea.
Hey I’m a UCLA grad too! And I remember diddy riese! They were so cheap and you’re right you really only bought a lot to share. The gift of God is free, warm and wonderful so much better than cookies and well worth sharing with others. Thanks for the post brings back memories, nice to know we something else in common
