Droplets from the Inkwell

Blog Prompt for 24 November 2012

Prompt from "Blogging Circle of Friends " :

My friends and family love me. But they like me because . . .

I think one of the reasons my friends and family like me is my wicked sense of humor. I can usually find the absurdity of any situation and find a way to laugh or joke about it. Plus I tend to be quick-witted and have a somewhat perverse (and perverted sense of humor), so puns, double tenderness, and snappy one-liners tend to roll off my tongue with relative ease and frequency.

I also tend to be an insightful and compassionate person with excellent listening skills. I find that many friends find it easy to open up to me and share whatever is bothering them, knowing that they will find a sympathetic ear that's usually devoid of judgment or criticism. At the same time, I'm also pretty good at asking leading questions, inviting them to explore exactly what's bothering them and get a better understanding of why that is.

Our tears remind us that we're alive. Our laughter reminds us why.
