Sentimental Gifts

I forgot to take a horse out of the car when I swapped it over today. It was the same mistake I made last time I switched to another car. Two times is a bad thing.

I have never thought that gifts should be rated on the cost of the gift. However, I have considered that practical gifts are better than sentimental ones, due to my nature. I have realised that when the gift is more ornamental, I tend to forget about it, or not remember having it. I need things to be visible to me to keep it in mind.

What I do need to start to appreciate is that all gifts come from the heart, and anytime the giver sees that I'm not putting a value to it, or discarding it, it hurts. If I was in the same position, I would agree that would stop me from giving gifts!

So going forward, all gifts will be remembered and cherished (especially the mushroom :))
