Friendly Circles (regarding our mylot friends) =)

It's nice how a site so large can have a friendly circle, kinda like a big group of friends within one network. (not a massive site, which hardly has anyone talking to each other)
I kind miss this and after replying to a friends discussion, I too feel like I'm letting my friends here down.
Truth be told, I'm not really in the talking mood and I seem to lost that spark which brought a more talkative person out of me. I just wanted to say those within my friend list, I will get around to doing and hopefully things can get back to how they used to be.
Has anyone else noticed when you leave it's harder to come back into the fold?

Heck No! I just jump right back in! The waters here are usually very warm and inviting. We all have times we need to be away, for whatever the reason. :)
Here's something that helps to motivate me....

Yeah I know, I'm being silly.
It's quite hard for me to respond with something decent, as I've always tried to keep my replies to the point and on the level. (which isn't happening at the moment)

P.s I just read your discussion and I did actually find it somewhat motivating. (cheers for that) tomorrow should be better. *lame*

I agree with you, there are a few friendly circles here, its too bad we work for peanuts. It would be great to have a mylot family reunion, so we could meet each other in person. Some of us live around the world from each other. I guess being on mylot will have to do. I do believe we all understand that we do have lives and families, so our time here is limited. Don't worry Joey about hurting someones feelings, we will be here when you visit. Take care.

I just love my friends in my special 'circle' they are always supportive, on hand if I need them, rallying around me when I go through my dark patches and pms when I'm not around. I did go away for a week to my parents then onto my retreat and yes it was hard getting back into it for the first few days, I just couldn't be bothered, however seeing my inbox absolutely bursting with my friends notifications, I thought, no I can't let them down, so I'm slowly, but surely working my way through them!

Nice to see you back Joey even if it to say hello now and again. You have been missed.
I have not been as active as I was when I first started, but then we all need time out otherwise we would all end up with repetative strain injury!
I look forward to your return and for the time being take care and enjoy the rest:)

i know what you mean. there was a time when i was on mylot everyday because i was online at work and even on weekends i had to come online just to see what was happening on mylot and add my two cents. but now that ive started a new job and i dont get to come online often i find it harder. mylot used to be the first site i opened. now i try to finish checking my mail and then if i still have time online i come on mylot. i miss it but i cant get back.

Yeah, it gets that way sometimes but don't worry about it. Life can be that way alot. You just got to learn to get around it somehow.

I have been here for over three months now and absolutely love it. Even though this is the fact there have been a couple of days that I did not come here at all. Just as a small break. I love the people here and it was not hard for me to come back. There are so many nice discussions that it would be hard for me not to come back. Call me addicted if you wish. I will gladly stand up and say I agree.

Although I usually tend to just start where I left, sometimes I can find myself taking some times to get back into the way I was, when I'm away for a bit.
Just take your time joey, and don't feel you're betraying your myLot friends. The ones that count, do understand:)

Its hard when we leave and get engaged with some thing and to get back. Hope you get back into that talkative mood and stay in touch with your friends. Wish you luck with what ever you plan to do.
Wish you wont be losing friends on mylot and you will be back here soon.

I haven't noticed it here because I haven't been here long enough but I know what you mean,I think. Many years ago I was part of a PP message board and was a ''mover and shaker'. I moved and was for all intents and purposes offline for several months. On return, I expected to slot back in but discovered the place had moved on without me. It was like I had never been there, despite the familiar faces. I have learned that people seem to hold weirs cyber grudges, and that you can't take it too much to heart.
