211018 What I learned in my studies this morning

Rough night. Little sleep.

The crack of dawn sees me rise

To improve health . . . HA!

Daily Stoic:

Choose good people. Be good people.

I have a good, if small group of friends. And, other than random people I interact with daily (cashiers, drivers, etc.), the only other place I encounter jerks is at work. Not often, and not terrible, but even so, these are people I cut out of my life as much as possible. (To the extent that a project I am working on has been delayed by months because I was counting on one person's cooperation and they were so untrustworthy, I cut them out rather than deal with their issues.)

On the other hand, what do I do to be a good friend and someone others want around? I try to be honest, kind, thoughtful, generous, helpful, reliable, etc.

When I find myself coming up short (assuming I notice), I try to make it up to the other person. That's what we do for friends.
