saying our farewells

We had our first true community night in about three months last night, and our last one of the year. it was wonderful. Conor is leaving tomorrow and Megan leaves on Saturday, so since they won’t be coming to our closing retreat, I felt like we needed a way to say farewell to each other and reflect on our year together. It was a lovely hour of just reminiscing and sharing and laughing and enjoying each other’s company and our quirks and ups and downs as a community. Despite our mix of contrasting interests, personalities, and backgrounds, we made it through a year together without having any major conflicts and managed to get along for the most part. And that’s something to celebrate!
