Facebook Fun

I use Facebook for a number of reasons, not all of which please the founder of the social network I am sure. But I do, on occasion use it for its original purpose: To connect with family and friends and have fun.

So tonight a little chain post started going around and I decided it might be interesting to participate. And it was...and touching. My sister and another friend posted this:

Let's see how forthcoming my Facebook friends are. Leave a one word comment that you think best describes me. It can only be 1 word. No more than one word. Then copy and paste this post on your wall so I can leave a word about you.

So I did. And here's what other people posted about me:

Kimberly: Overachiever

Robert: Patriot

Sara: Passionate

Wendy: Fun

AD: American

Karen: Determined

Tammy: Tenacious

Mary: Believer

Sheila: Intelligent

Danyelle: Go-getter

Paula: Feisty

Janette: Determined

Melanie: Progressive

Dan: Steadfast

Tristi: Dedicated

Jeannie: Blessed

Dodie: Patriotic

Victoria: Awesome

Anne: Amazing

Roland: Zealous (Hmmm, not sure I like that one.)

Am I this perfect? Of course not. I am one of the imperfect people I know, but it is interesting to see myself through other people's eyes. It gives a picture of me that I hadn't quite seen before. I believe I like all those descriptions of me and I hope to cultivate many more positive qualities and to continue growing toward being a better person than I am.

If you posted this same question, what do you think the one word responses would be? And is the picture one you would want to look at every day?
