Gifts

I enjoy giving gifts. I like to see my friends and family excited about something I can give them, or do for them (not all gifts are material). It seems odd that if I like giving gifts that I don't generally enjoy receiving them. Amy gets mad at me because she says that I am not a good recipient. I try, but I'm just not good at it. I received a very generous gift for Christmas from one of my friends. It was the perfect gift, I was caught off guard, and it is something I will definitely use. That's when I realized why I am so bad at getting gifts. I tried to express my gratitude, but I'm not sure that it came across how I had hoped. I think I stuttered and stammered and didn't really say all I meant to. It's just awkward for me for some reason. Another psychosis I need to work on I guess. Kind of like marking my socks with a Sharpie so that I can keep them paired up. If I have ever seemed ungrateful to any of you when you have given me something or done something for me I apologize, and I promise to try to do better. Better yet you could just do like Amy and swear that you will never give me another gift because I am such a jerk.
