The Way Other People Describe Me

This is a self-indulgent post. It's a list of things people have said about me that I like. As you read, remember that the you they refer to is actually me.





Thanks so much for being such a great sister. We joke about it a lot, but I really appreciate all the things you do for our family. You and I have always made a great team and I couldn't dream of a better sister.







If were stranded on a desert island, I think you would bring: One black bag with individual compartments to fit each: a gps, a satellite cell phone, the cruiseship/intercontinental shipping routes, and a planner so we could organize an efficient, comfortable and effective rescue. It would also fit snacks, a couple of drinks, a small sewing/first aid kit. The whole thing would roll out into a comfy bed with a selfcharging miniature generator to blow it up into a gigantic, yet practical puffy mattress, pillows, and light blankets, and provide night time light so we can wait in comfort for said boat to arrive. If I were stranded on a desert island, I think I would just bring you.

• 1. you play along with my silliness
• 2. you are always concerned about everything
• 3. you have a certain innocence that is so awesome
• 4. you don't condemn that which you are unfamiliar with

You could probably charm the stripes off a tiger.




You do have a gift of storytelling and finding humor in random and not so random things.


Hang in there, you may not feel it, but you are a strong woman...and that my friend is half the battle.
