It may not feel like it, but here’s my gift to you today

Forgetting Gifts

I don’t remember gifts.  My wife can remember a gift someone gave from 5 or more years ago at the snap of her fingers. I can’t remember what gift she gave me for my birthday this year.  I also don’t remember what I gave her for her birthday, but you can be sure she remembers.  I would like to remember more, but I just don’t. At least so far.  

The Forgetting Gift

But there is another aspect of forgetting gifts that I also have and I am glad about it. That is forgetting what gifts I gave. I like forgetting them because I hate the idea of keeping track of gift giving for some tit for tat type reason. I just don’t have the energy for it and it doesn’t matter to me.  So, I like giving and forgetting, unless of course I give the same gift 2 years in a row, then I wish I had remembered!
