Well, let me think. Yesterday I took Glenda for the free buffet in Boonville as to be her Christmas present from me to her, and because I went along from her to me. Of course I gave the most!
Doing it this way we prevented our giving from being a burden or sadness maker for the other. Giving a person a gift places a burden on the receiver to try and find a gift for the giver in return. That or ending up being deeply saddened that you didn't have a gift to retaliate with.
You know what is said, "give and ye shall receive", isn't always the case. For me tho, it was true yesterday when I hit the four duces on a duces wild nickle machine twice for $50 each. Then after the free buffet where they finally ended up paying us to eat, I hit a Royal Flush on another nickle machine that paid $200.
A nice warm 70's day that turned out even better than warm as I was kinda hot at the machines!
At 5:16 here this morning it was 63 degrees which could be another good day if it wasn't for the nasty storms in the forecast that includes a tornado watch.

The curse which lies upon marriage is that too often the individuals are joined in their weakness rather than in their strength -- each asking from the other instead of finding pleasure in giving.-Simone de Beauvoir
