I try to repay people for their actions and support in more personal ways - ways that come from my heart and ways that show I have been thoughtful. I consider myself a good cook and I am fairly creative. I will entertain those whom have helped me with the kindess of a dinner. I will offer too on occaasion the gift of a piece of art.

Makes sense. Maybe I'll repay in a different way other than money then. I just simply thought money was the way to go because most people, in the past and present, are more than happy to accept money when I offer it to them as a repayment. So that's why I thought that is the best way to go. In this particular scenario, it is a coworker taking me to work. We live less than a minute from each other and I am on her way to work. It is only a once a week thing, we both go to a early morning event which takes place right before her shift starts. She invited me to the event so that's why I started tagging along. I just sometimes worry that she will eventually get tired of taking me even though she offers and I don't want her to mistakenly think I am using her. I would never want to purposely do that to someone.
