Unwanted gifts and lack of appreciation Mood
Tuesday, August 19, 2008 | A Rambling story

So I was thinking this morning...

I often fail to recognize gestures that are meant to show affection.  I am guilty of resenting those gestures, or feeling the other person just wants to feel owed.  This is especially true if the thing the other person does isn't something I wanted.  I can be very ungrateful.

Do you have to be grateful for something you don't want?  I know it's best to try and find a good intention behind the action.

What to you call a person that always gives unwanted gifts?  What if they keep giving them after you tell them they're not wanted?

I keep thinking of my pet cat that always presented me with his kills from hunting.  I didn't stop loving the cat...

What about the grandma that buys the same shirt over and over again (that you hate).  She doesn't know any better.

What about the husband that doesn't accept who you really are, but always does the dishes?
