Sunday Scribblings prompted us to list our bragging rights this week.
I haven’t always been a friend to myself,
but
I appreciate beauty and intelligence.
I am shy but want to talk your ear off.
I am saddened by the passing of life of very small creatures.
I talk with my hands, walk fast and have a repertoire of one-liners for every occasion.
I never forget—a face, a lyric, a feeling.
I recognize other’s pain, grief and confusion even if I don’t like how they act.
I’m curious and want to see what’s new but love the old.
What’s mine is yours.
I’m adaptable to life and creative when needed.
My hands are graceful, my ears are tuned and I care.
Where others forecast the future I usually see the humor.
I am the one who sees both sides, front and back.
I am smarter than I think.
I am neither what I was told I was nor what I have believed.

Oh, Noni, this is a wonderful list, and all reasons why I hope to enjoy a cup of coffee with you some day.
But besides the beauty (and intelligence) you appreciate, you neglected to mention the beauty you create and share nearly every day, here at this place, on this page. There are many of us who are grateful for what we find her!
You are also a giver - of inspiration and beauty every day (almost) on your blog, and of friendship and honesty and intelligent comment. I hope to meet you some day in person, dear blogging friend!
