I'll tell you what you as an "introvert" have contributed to me in the few months I've known you: 1) when you talk, I listen, because I know you wouldn't be sharing if it weren't important. 2) when you thank, I feel sincerity in your words and from your eyes. 3) when you bore your testimony in your talk, I felt the spirit, because once again, your sincerity was so important. So Kelli, if you are an introvert, I'm grateful God created introverts.Brian and Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354392861865711984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369395194966842847.post-38552324351282824712012-02-09T09:56:25.884-08:002012-02-09T09:56:25.884-08:00Thanks, Kate.Thanks, Kate.Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508892859473202512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369395194966842847.post-52655546031994731252012-02-08T13:56:01.933-08:002012-02-08T13:56:01.933-08:00Kelli, Wise and insightful and a very welcome brea...Kelli, Wise and insightful and a very welcome breath of thought and intelligence today.

Are you still using that lovely voice?<br /><br />Good insights. I'm going to have to find "Quiet," and, also for the record--you are one of my favorite people, too, mostly because you are so complimentary. :) <br /><br />Thanks for posting!Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508892859473202512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369395194966842847.post-43022380748957928142012-02-06T11:06:14.194-08:002012-02-06T11:06:14.194-08:00I can just picture that Faythe--I think I know tha...I can just picture that Faythe--I think I know that closet. :)Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508892859473202512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369395194966842847.post-46711221267710685732012-02-06T08:38:43.804-08:002012-02-06T08:38:43.804-08:00I always enjoy reading your work.

I have always thought of you and Jeff as very outgoing people, who are great with meeting people and doing things with friends. It is always good to get to know you a little bit more, even if it isn't in person.

Then I saw how much I'd rather have alone time than big social gatherings - your 2nd paragraph describes me very well. But I never thought of it as limiting me until I got married and started moving all over the place. My husband often says: "Well, if you're feeling so lonely and bored, maybe we should be inviting people over for dinner regularly" - the thought of which makes my insides tighten up in a panic. Hosting. People swarming my house. Ugh. I love, LOVE getting together with other women and I'm thankful for those who love playing hostess so I can go to their houses. But I'd prefer a small gathering to a huge to-do. I like how I am, but sometimes when I'm new in a place, it does make for lonely times. It reminds me to look to my children for good, healthy relationships and try to let them fulfill at least a part of that loneliness - and that's been good to learn.<br />Thanks for the post. Great, as always.Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14214729463980227386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369395194966842847.post-35628741705760767842012-02-05T20:54:03.140-08:002012-02-05T20:54:03.140-08:00Fun and insightful read Kelli.

I am always looking for ways to empower her to be herself. It's strange how in our society being an introvert is seen as a negative trait. I just ordered the book "Quiet" by Susan Cain. It's supposed to be a great book on the power of introverts. I am always looking for ways to better know how to parent my sweet introvert daughter. Anyway, thanks for sharing your post. And for the record, you my friend, have always been one of my favorite people. It does not take long to sense how genuine, kind and thoughtful and FUN you are.<br /><br />-Lisa (Stanley)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605476801732889243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369395194966842847.post-5451797667530938992012-02-05T18:27:48.671-08:002012-02-05T18:27:48.671-08:00Well written, fellow introvert!
