Quiet, introspective, curious, bespectacled, cardigan-wearing civil servant with a penchant for reading and writing, people-watching, antiquing, sharing a good meal with family and friends, gossiping with girlfriends, swapping recipes, feathering my nest and making a comfortable home, honoring my elderly parents who live with me, showing kindness to strangers, and writing, did I mention writing? I keep a journal, but I think it would be infinitely more rewarding to keep a penpal instead, for then I could anticipate a reply. Handwritten letters are heavenly, magical, but email works, too.
