I've learned to give only the things that I don't need. Be always careful.

And feel guilty for thinking you mustn't feel this way when you know how a little reciprocation could take away the bad thoughts you have and warm your heart and the takers too! Another good one Deb Take care, Old Duck XX

But giving is so much nobler than taking, is it not?!... Tell you what, Deb: Give me an inch (2.54 cm), and I'll take a mile!

No. A giver never learns, but they appear ever lovelier to the eyes of other givers. Honest, brave write. I know the disappointed feeling.

sorry you're experiencing such frustration. with your kindness. Anyone who's kind deals with that. You've learned, alright. But you're choosing to still be kind. That takes strength...is admirable. have a pleasant evening, Sara
