You are...I agree with all these voices here, Glynn. You are a stellar host. <br /><br />I'm catching up on all the posts that I missed while on vacation last week. Wow. Your poetry really shines. I missed dropping by but promised myself to be very present with my boys last week.<br /><br />I don't regret a single moment. <br /><br />I've loved all of your posts on GITY. What a great book it is.

I try very hard, but it's so draining to me to be in crowds and lots of people I don't know. It does necessitate a deeper dependence on God though.

You have made a hospitable circle to include all of us. Introverted extroverts ARE welcome. A plethora of us exist happily online it seems. <br /><br />I hereby glue, pin, stitch, staple that there pineapple badge on you. Kneel, and be knighted. :)Kathleen Overbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12684519598333961438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-1879957832931808042010-08-18T08:43:22.072-05:002010-08-18T08:43:22.072-05:00I've heard that the pineapple is the symbol of...I've heard that the pineapple is the symbol of hospitality, so if I had a badge with a pineapple on it, I'd bestow it first on you here. You welcome all (we just have to think back to the 12 Days of Community and the other shout-outs you always give to know just how welcome). <br /><br />Your posts on God in the Yard have been very good reads.

Maybe you're a bit uncomfortable in a crowd, but in your comments and your tweets and your words here in this place you are a warm soul, and I have been received by you with reverence and generosity.<br /><br />Peace...Deidrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09145504027833176749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-62549873638952373512010-08-18T07:31:26.840-05:002010-08-18T07:31:26.840-05:00Me too -- embracing the life before it's gone!...Me too -- embracing the life before it's gone!<br /><br />Nice work Glynn.Louise Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13522775693728655487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-48919124373684270002010-08-18T06:55:40.069-05:002010-08-18T06:55:40.069-05:00Thanks for the review!

I mean, it seems like you would be perfectly at ease in any setting. <br /><br />Hmm.
