purim katan - tov lev mishteh tamid

Ksav Sofer in his commentary on the Torah has a chiddush that if someone is machmir to have a seudah and celebrate on Purim katan, it should not just be a selfish celebration.  You should also send food to others and be mekayein mishloach manos.  This is what the Rama means when, as a smach to the minhag, he quotes in the last din in SA the pasuk, "Tov lev mishteh tamid."  if you want "mishteh tamid," to have your party both in Adar II and in Adar I, then it should be preceded by your being tov lev, good hearted and generous and sharing with others.
