8 things that attract me to my best friends
1 - creative, artistic people. My friends inspire me. They write, make films, paint, take photographs, sing in operas, make quilts, act, dance and draw.
2 - lifelong students. My friends are usually taking some course or other, or just pursuing their craft, constantly refining it, discovering new ways of perfecting it.
3 - highly spiritual people. My friends come from different faith backgrounds, yet all seek to understand the sacred mysteries.
4 - compassionate people. My friends would stop and help a fallen runner in their own race.
5 - edgy, witty people. My friends share my dark sense of humor. Lots of zingers and laughs. Often at our own expense.
6 - intellectuals and total geeks. My friends and I walk the fine line. Luckily we’re very tolerant of each others’ quirks.
7 - movers and shakers. My friends are on political committees, run associations, start companies and then volunteer here and there and everywhere…. They make me tired…
8 - obsessive people. OCD doesn’t always have to count as a minus. I’d say most of my friends have some obsessive quality that helps them get their art out of their heads and into the world. I could use more of it, actually.
I had to steal Julia’s 8 reasons for best friends … cause I am the same way.
I tag whoever wants to play. If you do, let me know and I’ll visit.
