There is a certain type of person that I really like.

It is hard to pin point what it is I like about these people. I like people who are willing to collaborate on really big projects when the rewards are sometimes intangible. I like people who are able to take things seriously while still having fun. I like people who are always looking ahead and not back. I like people who are often thinking about helping others without a personal agenda.

I have been taking friend inventory lately and it makes me happy that I know many people like what I just described. I spent a lot of time in my twenties with only 1 or two friends. I can't believe this now, how strangely small my world was. How closed off I was to new people. I don't know where my head was. I do know that I weighed nearly 100 pounds more than I do now, so maybe that is it. Perhaps it is that since becoming a mother I want to feel more connected to people. I guess it is lots of things.

I spent many many hours this weekend working on a project with two people who really fit the profile of the kind of person that I like. And it just made me think about how we should never take for granted knowing people that we really like. Cause we could easily be spending our days with assholes that we can't stand.
