1. What did you want to be when you grew up?
A Mom, Teacher, Nurse.

It's different, but I can't judge better or worse. I have a good life.

Not to worry so much about the small stuff.

Unappreciative People
Webster’s Dictionary defines “Ingratitude” as: “Forgetfulness of, or poor return for, kindness received.” It can also be defined as not appreciating or valuing what you have, or have been given. Unexpressed gratitude is also ingratitude!
It is a shame that most people seem to not have time for thankfulness. Work, traffic, family, soccer practice, doctor appointments, and countless other things are their main priorities. They seem to have no time to thank others.
But consider the following. Have you ever given someone a gift and not received thanks for it? Have you ever been in a grocery store or restaurant and were not thanked for your business? Have you ever felt unappreciated by family or friends? If so, how did it make you feel? Probably not very good.
A simple Thank You, a quick text or phone call is all it takes. When someone takes time to remember you on your Birthday with a gift (no matter how small) just remember that they took time out of their busy life to remember you on your special day or event. So take time to let them know it arrived and that you appreciate being remembered.. .

2. Do you send Christmas cards?
I do. It's a time to connect with people that I don't hear from during the rest of the year. I send out about 60.
