One Word

So, I got this unusual email from a friend last week. It asked me to describe her in one word and send it back. Then, of course, there was the normal, send the original to a gazillion of your friends and see what they have to say about you. First off, let me say that describing a person in one word is tough. Much harder than I thought it would be. But of course this piqued my interest and I did go ahead and send it to a few people. Here are the results so far.

My friends describe me as:

incredible
love
wonderful
perceptive
patient
real
down-to-earth
finesse
comfortable
generous
wicked (but not in a bad way)
kind
loving
courageous

Hmmm.... I don't remember telling them to be flattering. But I think I am, flattered, that is. Especially when I consider the sources of some of the descriptions. Who wouldn't be flattered to have their child call them patient?

Next: Time to work on my humility.
