Grudge Holding

I'm a bit of a grudge holder, especially when it comes to gift giving. I know, I know, I should give gifts and not expect anything in return, but I can't help myself. Let me be clear, I only expect a thank you, but if I don't get it...at least in person, or via text, I hold a grudge. 

There are two gifts I gave in the last couple of months - one a graduation gift and one a Christmas/thank you and goodbye - that I've heard nothing about. I should let it go. Both were money, but that seemed like the best choice for both people. 

If I'm being honest, here's what it is: I'm bothered when people don't act the way I would act. I would have at least sent a text or a thank you note. I'll move on, someday. But I can't help but think differently about those people. Sigh.
