Blueish
Recently I took one of those personality assessments and below you will find what it said about me. I think most of it is fairly right on. The part about loyalty and friendships is right on with me as well. I don't just dive into a relationship (friendship or whatever) on a whim. I don't think it's because I'm cautious or afraid of being hurt, but rather because I desire deep friendships. In new situations or upon meeting new people I am quite shy and I would admit probably come off rude and full of myself. Friday night I was at a dinner our bible study hosted for another bible study. The company included a variety of people and I branched out a bit but mostly stuck talking with the people I know. Typically, I feel shyness is a quality others look down upon, or at least have in my past. However, I feel that within the qualities of a shy person you will find qualities such as trust, loyalty, genuiness, and openess that you sometimes do not find to an extreme degree on the other side of a relationship. So, while getting to know me bay be a win or lose, depending on a number of things, I think all of my friendships are deep and meaningful. I am more of an inner sanctum, round table, type of person than a large group. Perhaps there is where I have the most potential for tranformation...to both be a light and receive the light - how do you interact with people around you? Whatever the method...does it bring life?
Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful and practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

Wow that really is right on for you. I must say I never really got the shyness you have.. we Repperts never lacked the gift of gab, a trait your really did not get. Nanny was really sort of like you. she never jumped right in to a relationship, unlike Grandaddy who never met a stranger. but when she made friends with you it was deep and forever! But do not cross her for she could hold a grudge forever!! You are who you are, and aren't we glad we are not all alike! Thanks for the Call today!
I miss you and amy anxious for May to come!!
love mom
In regards to the assessment: Ok. How can you be that loyal when you don't return peoples calls or pick up the phone. Actually the last few times I've called you've been there. That survey may be correct. Or it may be how your feeling at the time. But you do play some pretty wicked jokes on your pals. Thanks for the fun times. I'll read your blog later.
