Connectedness.

So, there's a thing called StrengthsFinder.

Maybe it's just positive psychology mumbo jumbo,

but I think it's pretty insightful.

It says my #1 strength is connectedness.

"[You] have faith 

in the links between all things.

By nature,

you consider people 

more important

than things.

You consider ways

to initiate, nurture, or sustain

some of the linkages between individuals or groups.

You help people realize

they are part of the human family."

I think that description of me is dead on.

I like to think about

and blog about

what it means to be human.

I see people who are alone,

and I worry about them.

Later,

when I see them with friends,

I'm relieved. 

I notice who likes each other

and then I get particular joy

when they start dating.

And I can't describe how happy I feel

when people I love

love 

each

 other.
