Haha, thank you for all of your thoughts, Holly! <3 It sometimes does help to stage a prompt from someone within a call. Yes, letter-writing is a great idea because it takes advantage of a natural strength of writers!

Like your husband, I am taciturn sometimes, especially in groups. Around familiar company or people I easily connect with, it is the opposite. I get gregarious and talkative. What never changes is that I feel best spending an abundance of time alone with my own thoughts.

It sounds like we're both more on the volatile side? Not sure exactly how I compare with what's average, but I do wish I were more even-tempered! Who knows what my life partner will be like? What a mystery. One of my best friends may have recently met hers (we'll see), so it feels like my wish vicariously came true, woohoo! :D

Love to you and your hubby, Holly!!
