If I was to rate my skills. And decide what I’m really good at…

Making friends is probably one of my greatest abilities.

I don’t have a gazillion friends. But I have enough.

And I’ve been very lucky to have lots of close relationships with people. Male and female.

In the seasons of life, I’ve had very good friends through most of those seasons.

I wasn’t afraid to go away to University even though I was the only person I knew going to that school. I had a friend who worried if they would meet people when they moved to a new city.

I knew I’d meet people. I knew I’d make friends.

Sometimes I wonder about it. Why do people like me?

I’m not particularly interesting.

Don’t get me wrong. Lots of people DON’T like me.

And I don’t like lots of people.

Fortunately, most of the people that don’t like me are also the people I don’t like. Win win.

But I do wonder about those folks that do like me…

Maybe it’s because I’m a good listener. I’m not always a good remember-er, but I am a good listener.

It doesn’t matter.

It’s not something that I need to understand. It’s good enough that it’s something I know.

I can make friends.
