I am glad you feel that way too. I have almost 400 now, and yet I know so many of them and try to connect to all of them throughout the week. It is great to be able to know people all over the world, even when you are confined at home a lot! There are some great people at Gather.

Thank you Merrin....

Thank you all for I knew all asked or I asked to connect, sometimes people are less happy over time that they did... But so many of you like 10% read the article and took the time to comment. I know some are not active on gather, so having 10% of my friends pop by to say hey, I like you, is a real thrill...

and I even haver to laugh becouse someone thought me and my article important enough to them that they decided to give me some low ratings that after 23 votes I am at a 9.3 that says 1's to me... But it still is a validation that somehow I have made an impression in there lives....
