I guess when I ordered Abbie's first harness from Connie, and she was so sweet to write on days with just chit-chat. Then, I began reaching out to offer avatars to some (I can't resist a cute Yorkie face!) and felt more a part, when I would see them around the board.
Then, participating in the Gift Exchange did a little more to help me feel a part of the community.
Of course, there are some days, I still feel disconnected. |
