I had never thought of the world being more attuned to extroverts. Maybe it's just that they're "out there" more and even introverts respond to them -- I'm much more at ease when someone else starts a conversation with me than if I have to start one myself. One of my biggest struggles is when some of my attitudes and desires are part of my temperament and when they're selfish. Sometimes when people are going on and on and on and I want everyone to just stop talking, or when I am reading and my husband tries to open a conversation, my natural inclination is to retreat, but there are times I need to set aside my own preferences to minister to others. But that's where God's strength in our weakness comes in. I saw this mentioned a lot at Lisa Notes and was intrigued. I had never thought of the world being more attuned to extroverts.

I missed out on Legos growing up, but I'm looking forward to enjoying them vicariously through my children. Very neat! We’ve been to one of those Lego stores, and they are something to see!

Re the Laura Ingalls Wilder challenge, sure, it would be fine to revisit what you had read or written earlier. Oh, my kids would have loved that so much when they were younger!
