Do you play well with others? Umm yes and no. It takes me a long while to warm up to most people. I don't know if it's because it seems like the closest people in my life have always been out going so I felt I didn't need to be or what but I have always had someone in my life to make me feel comfortable around others. For my entire life I have had Sharon. Sharon is very outgoing and people just love her. I have always felt blessed that she was my sister because otherwise I don't know if she ever would have noticed me and would've been my friend. Sharon and I have always been best friends we've had times in our lives when we have been closer than others but when it matters we have always been there for each other. I love Sharon and she makes me feel confident about myself so I can be friends with others.
Lou like Sharon has a very easy time talking with people, he naturally puts people at ease when he is with them. I love having Louis as my best friend. Lou loves to make me laugh and is always trying to make me happy even when I am stubbornly trying not to be happy. Lou and i love to do things together as long as we have time together each day I can be happy. Lou is interested in things that I love. I love that when I make friends he becomes good friends with their husbands or vice versa. I know that when we first start becoming friends with people Lou will make them feel comfortable if I am nervous. Lou is so great, I love him.
Jessie and i have been friends for over a year now, I don't really remember when we became friends. My neighbor Mona told me that I shoudl meet Jessie because she thought we'd get a long really well. So on a Sunday I sat near her in RS. Jessie was very easy to talk with and I knew I wanted to become friends with her. I visited her a few weeks later at her house, much to my disappointment she had cats. I was so sad that I met someone who lived close who I really liked, but had cats. Somehow we kept on becoming better and better friends. She invited me to join her bookclub, we started having game nights, we talked hours on the phone and of course it really helps that our husbands really like each other. This weekend we discovered that we lived in the same singles ward. Jessie was in the same ward that Lou and I were in when we met. It was such a great discovery. If confirmed to us that Heavenly Father really wanted us to become friends if he let us have a 2nd opportunity at becoming friends. I love Jessie and I'm really going to miss her when she moves or when we move. But if Heavenly Father made our lives cross 2 times to become friends I think we'll stay friends forever.
There are other people who I love and play well with such as my parents, my sister Sandi and my bookclub girls and of course Alyssa.

I think it is so cool that you and your sister are so close. It is always fun to see older pictures (or current ones) and really see how happy you both are.
I think you and Sharon could easily pass for twins. I know you adore your sisters and I am glad you have them too!
You're right about Louis...he does put people at ease. I think you underestimate yourself though, i felt comfortable and close to you from the get go. I have adored my friendship wtih you ever since we met.
Glad we get to "play" with each other ocassionally and that you have so many people in your life that you can play well with. Love you!

This is such a sweet post, I'm glad you're participating in SPT. Too bad Jessie never blogs anymore, this is one she shouldn't miss.
great post. Awesome friends, family, and loved ones. A perfect recipe for playing nice.
Diana,
Will you e-mail me the logistics of your book club? How often you meet, how you choose the books, how long it lasts, number of people, how your discussions go, etc? I am thinking of starting one down here with some girlfriends and just wondered how you guys do yours...Thanks!
