Tiny muscles in your skin contract, rise above the skin, and make hair follicles stand at attention.
In humans, goose bumps are nothing more than physical proof that the nervous system is responding to the world around it, as it should.
Animals experience a similar phenomenon when they bristle, but they make good use of the big-hair effect.
If a cat's really chilly, its fur will stand on end, causing the elevated hairs to trap a greater amount of air close to its warm body.  Or, if it's confronted by a foe, it will look bigger and more intimidating.
We humans just look, well, like plucked chickens.;-)

For some of us making new friends is not always easy, but that does not mean we should not try.
A friend can be someone we just met, a long time acquaintance or even a family member.
Someone we can share good conversation, laughter and moments of our life with.
We may not always agree but we need to respect, love and cherish these relationships.
Having friends is a very important part of life.  These relationships may challenge us at times, making our life more interesting but friends will definitely help us grow. 
Enjoy your friends.

What are Your Character Traits?
They are the way you choose to live your life.  They set you apart from others, they are the essential of who you really are, they are your being.

If I personally had to pick three, these would be the ones:

Integrity:  Being a person of your word.  Taking responsibility for your actions.  Do not use empty excuses or blame others, but communicate honestly if your commitments can not be completed.

Patience:  Having patience toward yourself and others.  Remember you are always building your character, so be forgiving and non judgmental of mistakes, you or others may make.

Humor:  It is important not to take yourself too seriously.  You must be willing to laugh at yourself, enjoy life and laugh with others.  Humor and laughter are essential to your wellness and a well rounded, happy and fruitful life.

What Character Traits do you find important?
