Prompt: Do you believe you can go as far as your gifts will take you or are there limits?

---

It depends. I think gift giving is a joy and it has to meet the receiver’s likes and personality. I usually try not to overdo anything as to not put the other person in sort of an owing position. If the gift I am giving is the gift I am sure the receiver will really appreciate, then I don’t pay too much attention to the cost. Still, many gifts need not be costly.

Then, talking about the cost, I always put financial limits on me, which means if I purchase anything on a charge card, I have to have enough saved already to meet the cost. This takes care of the extra fines for later, should I fall back in paying the card’s monthly charges. Anyhow, I always try to pay the total amount when the bill from a card arrives.

Prompt: From GabriellaR45 ’s "Invalid Item" 
Write about searching for the poetry of your heart.

---

After reading Gabriella’s beautiful poem a minute ago, I can’t come up right away with such colorful imagery as she did. However, the poetry of my heart doesn’t need a search. It is in volumes already with the compiled treasury of memories that mostly have to do with people alive or not and most other living things, say pets, animals, plants, etc.

Then, I also consider just about everything on earth as living, although for me, a beautiful sunset is not poetry in itself, but if I have sat and watched it with a loved one, then I find the poetry in it. Books are objects for most people but books, writing implements, all artwork, and all objects for creating art, be it crochet hooks, paintbrushes, or landscaping tools are also included in the poetry of my heart.

In short, anything I can see the human in it is poetry to me.
