Day 3: What kind of person attracts you.

You would think that today's challenge question would be easy for someone 62 years old and married for 40 years. It is not.  I've met many people in my lifetime and some I liked and some not so much.  I can get along with just about anyone so I don't really focus on someone's personality or what attracts me to that person when I meet them. I like to get to know them first.

But, after giving some thought to this question, and thinking about the people that surround me (my family and friends), I've come up with a few:

The person that attracts me the most would be those of strong, moral character. I like intelligent people that I can learn from.  I am attracted to the person who is energetic, compassionate, and funny. I don't like the selfish, inconsiderate type. I hate drama and whining.  I am attracted to the person who is a Christian and knows and loves Jesus as I do, but I wouldn't ignore those people who may not know Him, otherwise I might miss an opportunity to meet someone of exceptional character.  And, I like conservatives.

Now, if I were to tell you the people who most attract me in the world of movies and television (in the not-so-real world and totally superficial), I would have to say it would be Clint Eastwood, Pierce Brosnan, and let's not leave out Robert Redford!  And the female actress that I most admire (although that's not really the challenge question) would be Meryl Streep.  There you go!
