I rather receive than give anyday, and I’m not talking about somthing You can wear or eat or use for other. I’m talking about acknowledgment as a person. We have given gifts to certain people, and we didn’t get the bang for our buck. Some of the grand kids know us when they get a gift, and other times, HELLO, aren’t you going to say hello. It’s all very nice to say, it’s better to give than receive. (butter driping from your mouth) but how do you really feel. I personally want somthing back. Acknowledgment for beingIs the bang. Otherwise a person is just farting in the wind.

I feel exactly the same way. Where physical objects are concerned, yes I like to receive them when I know they have been well thought out and given from the heart, but when I put a lot of time and energy into a gift for someone else, or share something that I have created, and therefore is something of me, I do like to be acknowledged. To have that person’s face light up and say thank you has more meaning for me than anything else I can think of. It is terrible to be ignored, when I have gone out of my way for anyone, and I am losing my usually unending patience lately when this happens.
I do hate it when that happens,it is unfortunate that kids these days are not as apprciative as they should be!! Sometimes I like to just give them a shake.
