30 Day Blogging Challenge Day 6: The person you like and why you like them.

Okay, I’ve struggled with this question for a day because it seems so similar to the other day’s challenge question regarding the kind of person who attracts you. Plus, the question is singular, while the number of persons I like is plural. I believe I’ve been overthinking this one. So, after a day of fairly minimal contemplation, I’m going to go with the person who popped into my mind first when I read the question, which is [shocking] my wife, Wendy.

I’ve already blogged about what attracts me physically, but what are the deeper things that make me like my wife? Here’s the short list:

• She is full of life
• She feels passionately (includes both the positive and negative)
• She is a beautifully sensual person
• She is honest and up-front with people; You never have to wonder where you stand with her
• She is wise beyond her years
• She enjoys watching the Cubs and Vikings with me
• She is an amazing actor/director/producer and we are great partners both on stage and backstage
• We love many of the same things and can have long, meaningful conversations about them because…
• She’s a great conversationalist
• She makes great cheesecake
• Beneath what some may perceive to be a bristly exterior (see the bullet about feeling passionately) lies a heart that is among the most generous, compassionate and gracious I’ve ever known
• I can live with her, work with her, rest with her, play with her, and sleep with her 24/7/365 and never tire of her presence or company
• She loves me extremely well
• Then there are reasons I like her which I’ll keep private and between us, thank you very much 😉
