THANK YOU

I would like to thank everyone who messaged me, e-mailed me or stopped me on the street to chat about the recognition I received from Newspapers Atlantic.

I am  amazed that people have made such  a big deal about this.

As this is “Gratitude Friday “ ( thanks, K.G. ), I would like to say how grateful and lucky I am. There are so many people who are dealing with struggles these days. The daily announcement of yet another friend or family member being stricken with cancer is just so appalling.

There are lots of hardships others are facing as well like affordable housing, loss of employment or the loss of a loved one. And mental illness.

My hope is that in some small way, I give people a reason to smile or chuckle a few times a week.

I am one of the lucky ones and I don’t take anything for granted. We all know how quickly life can deliver a swift kick in the arse.

If you are well fed, have a roof over your heads , have something meaningful to look forward to and feel half decent when you get out of bed, BE VERY GRATEFUL.

As much as I struggle with some of the things I encounter with social media, I believe the good outweighs the bad. Through my writing, I have been able to connect with friends I haven’t talked to in over 40 years. Every day feels like a big group conversation.

As long as you keep reading, I’ll keep on writing.

I truly feel blessed.
