The Kindness of Paying Attention

“Tell me to what you pay attention and I will tell you who you are.”
~ José Ortega y Gasset

I have a friend around whom I need to be careful – because whenever I say that I like something, whatever I compliment might just appear.  I have to be very careful.  One of the problems is that my friend has incredibly good taste.  So it’s double trouble.  It has already happened with two blouses.  And the most recent example is a candy bar to which I am partial.  But this particular candy bar comes from the other side of the world.  No problem for my very thoughtful and very resourceful friend who had several of these candy bars shipped from England!
