GIFTS

Recently I have been the recipient of gifts from several unexpected people.  Normally it is unusual to "gift" me.  Other than my children I have rarely received a surprise gift; with the exception of a friend of mine.  My dearly beloved finds it easier to take me along and say okay here's the deal  I wanted to surprise you so pick out a present!  Somehow he still doesn't get it!  I thought about why he doesn't get it and realized it is because he just can't, even for that one moment in time, stop thinking he knows what I want more than I do.  It is impossible for him to actually think about me as a person and all the things he knows about me, then seeing what I buy myself, go and take the time to find something for me.  The effort required to "not" think he knows me better than I know myself is just to much to handle, therefore no surprises.  I am not complaining here I am just sorting out.  It has just been so much FUN to be surprised every other day; just like a child again.  Each gift has been spot on tailor made for me!  I don't think I would have even picked out half of them because they are so "the me I forgot about".  It has been great fun visiting home again.
