I stole this idea from Julie!
- Belinda: Friendliness. Belinda knows almost everyone, and those she doesn't know she befriends within 10 seconds.
- Drew: Role with the punches without getting upset or angry.
- Eli: Being content with what I have. Being patient with others' quirks
- Erica: The ability to be completely brutally honest about herself and others and yet make it funny instead of insulting
- My Aunt Mary: Her ability to love herself unconditionally and indulge in things that make her happy. It's sad how many people forget to do this!
- Jackie: Her tenacity. The girl knows how to stick to her causes.
- Jessica: Sense of adventure. This girl is up for wandering off somewhere while I forget there's a world outside of Madison
- Julie: Bottomless heart. Julie loves a multitude of animals and people. She knows how to talk to a person like they are the only one that exists. If anything bad was ever to happen, I know she'd be right there to comfort me.
- Kylie: My "little." She's more confident than I was at her age, and more adventurous too.
- Lindsey: Sense of fun. Lindsey works as much as I do if not more and yet while I go home and sleep on the couch she's out enjoying life.
- My dad: His stillness. He is the bottom of the ocean when there's a storm up top.
- My mom: Her organization skills. How does she keep everything so clean and still manage to get out?
- My grandma Helen: Her frankness. My grandma was unconcerned how her opinions went over. This was occasionally rude, but I admire how she never pretended.
- My grandpa Howard: His ability to turn everything into a production. My grandfather strived to make every day special, and was usually successful.
- My grandma Ione: Unconditional love.
- My Middle Schoolers: The ability to live in the moment, value fun over seriousness, be adult one second and big goofy kids the next.
