#4 GBE and what it means to me

Ever since our MySpace days, I have felt a sense of kinship with quite a few of y'all.  More close with some than others. And, that's ok, because that's the way families work, right?   It started with the stories. Which turned  into bonding in the comments, as we shared how each blog resonated within us.  Growing and changing as we went. We formed bonds that moved to our personal pages, then over to FB. Some progressing to phone calls, letters, and visits to eachother's homes. We shared our lives,  loves, hopes, dreams, longings, fears,  and losses. We lifted eachother up, and helped carry the heaviest of burdens. Even after the blogging ended.    

Why did I come back to the GBE, and what do I hope to gain?        

  I've missed the little glimpses into y'all's minds and hearts. The laying bare of some of the most raw feelings, and the healing that comes with that kind of honesty and shared emotions. I've missed the storytelling aspect of some of prompts. The yarns that were spun as we opened our minds to create a tale to give to and, hopefully, entertain our friends. Most importantly, I've missed YOU! 

I do believe that I won't set any expectations on what I hope to gain. I think I'll just relax here, and soak in all you have to say. Fill my tank with the joy of just being here with y'all, again ❤️
