What's your favourite thing about someone, anyone?

I have a lovely friend at my son's school. Whenever I need to be confrontational and fight my case, I think of her and channel her character

She is really honest, kind but knows her rights and that of her DC

My mum. The most forgiving, generous person I know. Incredibly thoughtful and has a genuine talent at considering other people's point of view, even if she doesn't agree

My DD. So secure in herself, knows who she is and what she wants out of life. I wish I could grow up to be like her!

My best friend. Doesn't give up on a project, ever. I wish I had that stamina and determination.

@CryptoFascist How amazing to have a daughter like that. It's the stuff of dreams, surely? What more could you want than those qualities

Friend of mine, who I used to work with, always appreciated what was good about my work, even when a lot of it was bad.

My husband - never met anybody so intelligent that can walk into a room and talk to so many different types of people like they are the only ones in the room I'm blessed to have met him.

My MIL. Too many things about her to name one thing!!

The most industrious, tenacious, patient person I know. One of life's "do'ers".

Never complains or moans.

Always makes things happen.

Has experienced true adversity so she has an innate gratitude to her. She seems thankful for everything she has. Yet she's worked hard for it too.

Never judges, never criticises, never speaks out of turn yet is honest and upfront.

Such a positive force in our lives.

He sounds wonderful

My aunt and Godmother. She isn't literally my aunt but my uncles wife. She is so positive and thoughtful and kind. She makes it her focus to make others happy. She keeps note of everyone's birthdays anniversaries etc and the card will always arrive on time. She passes a comment only when positive and she remembers every little thing. More than I do about my own life! She will ask me how did I get on at an event or restaurant or meeting when I've almost forgotten. She will remember my friends names and what activities my kids do. I've always been jealous of her kids and grandchildren.

My best friend survived lymphoma at 25. At 46, she is still fulfilling her promise to herself to squeeze every drop from life and her energy, humour and enthusiasm are a daily inspiration to me, even though we live across the world from each other.

Don't tell DC or DH, but I think she might be my favourite person 😉

These are all lovely to read.

My best friend of 31 years. So blessed she came in to my life. She brings out the best in me. She tells me I'm generous, thoughtful etc but it's because she is totally worth it & I'm not like that with everyone 🤣

My manager. She is very driven and tenacious, smart, clever and organised. But also kind and thoughtful. She does volunteering in her limited free time. Very highly thought of by people.
I often feel scatty and unorganised compared to her. But i never feel envious because shes so lovely.

My best friend of 48 years that we have just lost to cancer. She would compliment complete strangers, telling them they looked amazing! She had a true generosity of spirit, and was kind, inspirational, patient, tenacious and loving. She used to say "our normal is other people's excellent" when we talked about our jobs. I love and miss her so much.
