I follow Deb and Sandi and so I find myself being just a little envious of your get-together. I'd so like to meet the three of you. <br /><br />I'm not surprised that you learned things about yourself when in the midst of such interesting and interested women. Oh, what a treat you all must have been for one another.

I'm so grateful to have these words, and those of the rest of the group, to go back to as reminders of the magic of the weekend.

I've wondered what it might be like to meet bloggy friends, if I would live up to my own expectations of myself, if that makes sense. I'm sure there would be sharing, tears and laughter. I think communal laughter must be one of the best parts about crossing the digital divide.<br />It's always nice to come home after and adventure though, isn't it?

Won't happen any time soon for me seeing as how all the people I interact with are in the US except for one in the UK! :p<br /><br />I imagine it must have been a little bit scary to all get together... not knowing each other "for real". How wonderful that it all worked out so beautifully!<br /><br />As for being less extrovert than before... could it also have something to do with the company? I've discovered over the years that depending on who I'm with I'm either the person moving others to action and the one always talking (centre of attention) while with others I'm quieter and content to let someone else take the lead (which I find very relaxing!)CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-77869830165643895882012-10-10T04:56:12.094-07:002012-10-10T04:56:12.094-07:00Wonderful...:)Wonderful...:)troutbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087811292280881959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-337851713143987662012-10-10T02:45:50.079-07:002012-10-10T02:45:50.079-07:00its such a nice blog to provides info

I am not really an introvert, but I do need lots of time to myself -- I actually rather enjoy my own company. For me, blogging serves the dual need for engaging with other people and keeping to myself.

And I know what you mean about introversion after retirement. I was already an introvert, but even moreso now. And that's okay!

Rainer as I type. I have not yet gone downstairs to meet you all for the morning. I needed some time to reflect on the weekend. Like you, I learned much about myself and others this weekend. Mostly, I learned about myself because I could see myself in a new light based on listening to the rest of you. For that I am grateful. <br /><br />My life is greatly enriched because my path has crossed your path. You are wise and beautiful. I amazed at the friendships that are made in the land of blogging. Thank you for saying "yes" to this weekend. <br /><br /><br />Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-54943616862599036552012-10-07T07:18:18.968-07:002012-10-07T07:18:18.968-07:00I think it would take a certain amount of courage ...I think it would take a certain amount of courage to get together with four other women you haven't met in person before. Unlike joining a group where you know no one and thus have some anonymity, here you "know" the people and probably have expectations of each other. It sounds like you all are having a great time though. Rubye Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02511953177053448513noreply@blogger.com
