Jill, not only is your sense of humor a positive and gentle one, there's a common thread of celebrating others and a generosity of spirit. You have that rarest of all talents - the ability to truly appreciate the talents of others. But moreover, you celebrate them. And this is something my mom used to tell me - that I truly didn't understand, because I prefer to celebrate friends than to feel the frustration of not being able to fix all their problems and cure all their hurts: There's no shortage of friends with shoulders to cry on when you fall on your face, but a REAL friend is the one who celebrates your wins.
