Accepting and not Giving


Truly selfish, I know. But sometimes I can't help myself!

One of my co-workers called and said she was bringing me a gift for Valentine's Day. Instead of a gracious reply, I respond with "Well just know this. I didn't get you a damn thing." Of course, I was received in the jest intended.

The gift was lovely and also included about 2 dozen lollipops tagged onto small valentine's day cards. I distributed the pops to everyone on my floor, taking full credit for the time and effort put into procurring them.

So here is to the pleasure which is sometimes accompanied by guilt, getting and not giving back.
