What I Like About You

Cara was a walking vocabulary word: omnipresent. Everywhere she went she tried to be the center of attention. She could make any discussion about her.  If you were trapped underground for a month, and asked by friends to describe your ordeal, she’d interrupt to tell how she felt watching the news coverage. Or, how frustrating it was to sit in traffic in the Squirrel Hill Tunnel for an hour.  Or how she had to expand her walk-in closet to avoid feeling claustrophobic.  

And yet, watching her play with Bubbles I couldn’t help but smile. Cara truly loved animals. She was a master organizer. I thought her work for charities was mostly attention-seeking, but who was I to judge Cara? Better to find something to like about her.

Today I will look for things to like about people.
