Today i'm not really sure whether to be tremendously flattered or horribly patronized.
And i'm really wondering if "it IS the thought that counts". i mean... is it really? Because if the thought of giving a gift mattered most, who would care what the content was, yes?
Well no! The content of a gift should show thought of the recipient (in this case ME); who i am, what i like and dislike, what you know of me and my relationship to you.
If it is the thought that counts then it is also the effort in choosing the right words, the right item, the right anything that would be loved (by me). Yes, HERE's where it is the thought that counts.
Thoughtfulness. Effort. Maybe even sacrifice. The desire to send a message of connectedness and understanding of the gift's recipient. A sharing that you KNOW the person to whom this gift is given and why.
It IS the thought that counts.
Just trust me on this one.
About Me
- me
- I'm an ornery wench. Just trust me on this one. :) my loves: coffee, road trips, learning, teaching, music of all sorts, firelight, intentional family, being at water's edge, intense conversations, boundless laughter, clearance sales. I'm a peacemaker, facilitator and problem solver. A fiend for conscious choice and personal responsibility. Nothing is sexier to me than brains and talent. I strive for nothing less than radical honesty. I expect nothing less than that endeavour in return.
