You don't mind being in social situations, as you feel comfortable enough with people to be yourself.
Your caring nature goes beyond a basic concern: you take the time to understand the nuances of people's situations before passing any sort of judgment.
You're a good listener, and even better at offering advice.
You're concerned with others at both an individual and societal level—you sympathize with the plights of troubled groups, and you can care about people you've never met.
Considering many different perspectives is something at which you excel, and you appreciate that quality in others.
Other people's feelings are important to you, and you're good at mediating disputes.

HMMMM -VERY CLOSE !!

You're a "White Angel".
You're a natural leader in every aspect of life because you always try to do the right thing. It may not always work out the right way but at least you tried. You're pretty near to your family and you love being around them. You're not afraid of what people think of you. You are only afraid that you won't live up to what they want you to be though. You want to be the best at everything and you'll push anyone out of your way if you have to. You're a person with big dreams and ambitions and you're a clear thinker. You never do things on impulse but always think things out first which helps you a lot in life. You'd be the one to stand up when no one else will, and the one who will speak up when all else are quiet.

A Sandpiper For You !!!

A SANDPIPER WISH FOR YOU---I live near a beach that I frequent quite often, Especially when the world begins to close in on me and my spirit's dampen.That's where I first met this small six year old precious girl.Her eyes were as blue as the sea when she glanced around at me, a pretty little pearl. She said, "Hello," I answered with a nod.I wasn't in the mood to be bothered, especially by a child, it seemed odd. "I'm building," she said."I see that, what is it?" I asked, not really caring. "Oh, I don't know, I just like the feel of sand,and the digging." I slipped off my shoes as a Sandpiper glided by. "That's a joy," the child said."It's a what?" "It's a joy. My mama says sandpipers come to bring us joy. "The bird went gliding down the beach, and I thought Goodbye joy, Hello pain, and turned to walk on, my life was out of balance, I was depressed, what could I enjoy? Persisting, she just wouldn't give up, "What's your name?""D," I answered, I'm DAVID." "What's your name?" I'm six, and my name is Wendy" "Hi Wendy." She giggled, and said, You're funny."My gloom was heavy, but I laughed too, and walked on briskly. Her musical giggle followed me."Come again, Mr. D," she called my way, Come tomorrow, we'll have another happy day!" My week was filled with Boy Scouts, PTA, and an ailingmother. One morning, the sun was shining, as I took my hands out of the dishwater. I need a Sandpiper. I said to myself, as I gathered up my coat. I'm going to the beach to watch a sailboat! At the seashore, the ever-changing balm awaited me. The breeze was chilly, as I strode along, looking for the tranquility I needed badly."Hello, Mr. D." she said, "Do you want to play?" I was annoyed, and thinking--not again today...."What did you have in mind?" I asked"I don't know," she said, "You say.""How about charades?" I asked sarcastically."I don't know what that is." then a tinkling laughter burst forth cheerily. "Then let's just walk." I then noticed the delicate fairness of her tiny face...."Where do you live?" I inquired, "Over there. in that place. "She was pointing toward a row of summer cottages close to the beach. Strange, I thought, in winter, so out of reach? "Where do you go to school?" "I don't go to school. Mommy says we're on vacation, it's cool. "As we strolled up the beach, she chattered little girl talk, But my mind was on other things, when I left for home, Wendy said it was a happy walk. Feeling surprisingly better, I smiled at her and agreed.Three weeks later, I was near panic as I rushed to my beach full speed. I was in no mood to even greet Wendy. I thought I saw her mother on the porch, and felt like demanding she keep her child home, as I felt angry.As Wendy caught up with me I said, crossly "Look, if you don't mind, I'd rather be alone today."She seemed unusually pale and out of breath "Please stay away." "Why?" she wanted to know."Because my mother died!" I shouted, then I thought.....My God why am I saying this to a little child, I'm a terrible fellow!Quietly, she replied, "Oh, then this is a bad day." "Yes," I said, "and yesterday, and the day before and--Oh go away!" "Did it hurt? she inquired. "Did what hurt?" I was exasperated with her, with myself, I felt battered! "When she died?" "Of course it hurt!" I snapped, misunderstanding......wrapped up in myself, I wished I had lied! When I next went to the beach she wasn't there, and I felt guilty and ashamed, because I truly did miss her. I went up to her cottage after my walk and knocked, a drawn looking young woman would answer. She had the same blonde hair and sea blue eyes as Wendy. "Hello," I said, "I'm DAVID . I missed your little girl today, was I too early? "Oh, Yes, Mr. D , please do come in, Wendy spoke of you so much. I'm afraid I allowed her to bother you, please accept my apologies, it hasn't been easy." "Not at all--She's a delightful child." I said, suddenly realizing I meant what I had said."Wendy died last week Mr. D . She had leukemia. Maybe she didn't tell you"Struck dumb, I groped for a chair, this can't be true! "You see she loved this beach so much we just couldn't say no and, she seemed so much better here, we had to let her go......Then in just the last two weeks, she went down hill rapidly and so......"Her voice faltered, "She left something for you....if only I can find it....Could you wait a moment while I look?"I nodded stupidly, my mind was racing for something to say to this lovely young woman, I was so shook! She handed me a smeared envelope with MR. D printed in bold childish letters on the outside. When I opened it, in bright crayon hues--a yellow beach, a blue sea, and a brown bird was drawn on the inside......Underneath the picture was carefully printed: A SANDPIPER TO BRING YOU JOY. Tears welled up in my eyes, and a heart that had almost forgotten to love opened wide to love again, and to enjoy."I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry," I muttered over and over.I took Wendy's mother in my arms and we wept together to become braver. The precious little picture is framed now and hangs in my study."A SANDPIPER TO BRING YOU JOY" Six words--one for each year of her life--that speak to me of harmony, courage, and undemanding love, with beauty. A gift from a child with sea blue eyes, and hair the color of sand who has taught me the gift of love.Her words will always remind me that the price of hating other human beings is loving oneself less. We need to take the time to enjoy living, and life, and each other and our God above. Life is so complicated, the hustle, and bustle of everyday traumas peppered with stress. Because we are forced to endure all of this, we lose focus about what is truly important, or what is only a momentary setback or crisis. We lose our perspective, our priorities. Make a point this very moment to give your loved ones an extra hug, an extra moment of your time. Even if its only ten seconds, make those ten seconds sublime! This comes from someone's heart, and is shared with many......now I share it with you. I'm convinced, there are NO coincidences....everything that happens to us happens for a reason. Never brush aside anyone as insignificant and say adieu, You never know what that person may in you awaken. May God Bless everyone that reads this, and to you.......I wish you a sandpiper too!
