It really is hurtful when someone doesn't react positively to a gift we gave them. Especially when there was love and thought put into that gift. It can feel like they are rejecting the giver as much as the gift although that might not always be the case.

I think you are right, the restrictions and anxieties this year have shook so much up within relationships, for ourselves and others. I do try to remember 'be kind' but sometimes it's difficult!

Hope you are doing okay today and good wishes for your plans. We all need things to motivate us and to look forward to.
