E M P a T H E T I C

Extending the benefit of the doubt
Means well at all times, looks for the positives
Peacemaking through careful listening; being upbeat
An effort to always work toward the greater good
Trustworthy, honest, open, selfless, caring,
Helping others to find their best self
Enthusiastic cheerleading for others
True caring for friends, relatives, and strangers on the street
Imaginative ways to uplift and inspire others
Clearly shows a love for fellow humans and animals in every action

Fine writing, Caren. I like the way you focused on "others." And, of course, one must have empathy to consider the needs of others.
