Don't be an "id" -- Do be an "un"'

Catchy title, huh? I was remembering a gathering I was a part of recently and I started to contemplate about the folks I was drawn to spend more of my time with while we were together and the very "why" of those feelings. I discovered that the personalities of guests I withdrew from had the two letters "i - d" as a factor in my assessment. Words like "stupid" (another word for ignorant which is pretty scary in my book), "insipid" (no zip, no spice), timid (I wanted to shock them with a "boo"... or two), tepid (give me hot, hot, hot!!! anytime), and "vapid" (BORING) came to mind. And the people I enjoyed the most were "un's" such as "unnecessary" (those who were willing to try new things, have fun just for the joy of it, enjoy the gift of life) and "unexpected" (the outside packaging hid a wonderful treasure of wit, wisdom, knowledge or soul hidden within) and, most important, "unforgettable" (challenged me to reach for my dreams, earned my admiration, enriched my reality by the blessing of their friendship). I sincerely hope I prove to be an "un" thread in the life tapestries of those whose paths are entwined with mine....especially yours.
