This is a good post; and, certainly, there are a lot of good takeaways, but I found it a bit lacking, perhaps because it is different than what I would have listed as virtues. Regardless, I think it is thought provoking and very helpful.

Your post on virtues reminds me of my husband’s “code.” An avid reader at an early age, his moral code developed over time, influenced by mythology, the classics, and super heroes. Thanks for stopping by my blog. 🙂
