It is weird how we embody our parents. How a thing like personality or demeanor can be passed on. I am so like my mom in some ways. I would say that the traits I love most in myself are ones that you could find in her as well.
We are both so thoughtful. What is a simple gift we put together for someone, would be considered extravagant for most.
That thoughtfulness extends beyond simply giving someone a gift.
No. It's the meaning the gift has to its receiver. The way it's wrapped. The way you give it to them.
I said this to my mom last night, "it's all about the presentation".
I'm pretty sure I've heard her say that before.
The thing I inherited that I love most, however, is that I just do these things because it's part of my nature. I don't consider it to be going out of my way to put a lot of thought into a gift for someone. It just feels right when I do it.
My mom is pretty awesome. And, by the transitive property, so am I.
Hahaha. I am so modest sometimes.
Ok. Random thought time:
