You’re Invited to Marriage Mondays {Link Up}

When people meet me at events, they usually assume I’m an extrovert. This has been a process. When Keith and I first met, we’d attend events together (because of both of our jobs, we were required to attend quite a few), he’d start mingling and I’d find a corner in the room and hop on my Blackberry. I wasn’t trying to be unsocial or unkind; I was just doing what came natural.

I’m an introvert by nature. Meaning, I am refreshed and energized by being alone. Downtime, quiet time and alone time are necessities in the life of an introvert. The downside with being an introvert is it is often misinterpreted at events and parties for being aloof or arrogant. I love people and never wanted people to confuse my discomfort at large events with not wanting to be around them. So I’ve worked on that.

Over the past ten years, since Keith (who is also an introvert, by the way) and I have been together, I’ve learned to be a gregarious introvert. Meaning, I put my natural introversion on the back burner at events and mirror the strengths of an extrovert. This learning has fixed one problem (people no longer get the false impression that I’m arrogant or aloof) but created another. By the time I leave a dinner or cocktail party, I am absolutely exhausted. It sucks the life right out of me.

There is, however, one type of party that gives me complete energy! And that’s our weekly link up party. Married bloggers from around the globe join us here to share their favorite posts from their own sites. What I love most about our link up parties is I learn so much from and about all those who link up.

Until now, our link up has been every Thursday. But with the launch of the new Happy Wives Club site, we wanted to shake it up a bit and invite more to join us (including you) so we moved the day and changed the name. So welcome to our very first Marriage Mondays. I invite you to join the blog hopping party with me by clicking on the links below that look interesting to you. Whether an introvert or extrovert, this kind of party is for everyone so enjoy!

Until tomorrow…make it a great day!
