Sat, Aug. 18 – How do you think others see you when they meet you for the first time?

Probably not very well.

Honestly.

I am not outgoing. I could seldom be called “friendly,” even with my close friends and family. I am quiet, pensive, and withdrawn. Unfortunately, I suspect that often comes across as arrogant, disinterested, and aloof. If there is something that is the polar opposite of a “people person,” that’s what I am.

If you ever have the misfortune of meeting me a first time, please forgive me. Give me a second chance. And a third. And a fourth. And maybe a fifth. If, by our fifth encounter, I’ve given you no reason to smile or think I might actually be a decent human being, well… then… I completely understand.

I am a nice person. I think. Usually. If you give me time. 🙂

It’s Saturday… don’t forget to let me know if you’ve written all week! It’ll put you in the drawing at the end of the month for that Amazon Gift Card!
