and

I was thinking about these threads and characteristics defining us.

So, what do you think defines you (or at least you see as very essential characteristics) ...

Me, in no particular order.

1. Compassion

2. Intelligence

3. Open-mindedness

4. A duality

5. Sensitivity

6. Intuition

7. Stillness/calmness

8. Analytical

  • Oooh this is a tough one for me. 

    I find it hard to see my (qualities). After a LOT of thinking this over these are mine.

    Also in no particular order.

    1) Creative. 

    2) Fun. 

    3) Interesting. (Maybe)?

    4) Kind.

    5) Weird but wonderful. Smile

  • Thanks.

    Good set of qualities and I'm sure you have others that people who know you would choose.

    In fact, when I did CBT I was asked to talk to people close to me to get their perceptions of me, and they were very different from my perceptions of myself.

    I was very taken aback by that.

    I love the C S Lewis quote you have in your profile, by-the-way.
