The season of giving

I've come to the conclusion that I'm a giver. Yeah, I like to be on the receiving end, but in all reality it's the giving that makes me happy.

M and I had our second "girl day" yesterday. We were suppose to do some clothes shopping for the two of us. We ended up only shopping for her. Tried to shop for myself, but it really didn't work. I think I have a problem spending money on myself. Well, at least when I'm alone or with my girly-girl. I seem to be able to spend for myself just fine when C is with me. I think that's the only way I'm able to buy clothes for myself anymore.

I really enjoy giving to those who need a gift. It makes me feel good knowing that I can help someone out. Or give them a renewed faith in humanity. Or just make someone else feel good, appreciated, loved, etc.

It sounds like I could of written your blog. I have been haveing some of the same thoughts. Can't seem to spend on myself but love buying for others and giving to others. Enjoy shopping with your girl while you can. Reminds me of Brenda and me. We loved to shop together when she was small and we still do but times are few and far beweeen. Love to all, Helen
