Congratulations on reaching the one year milestone! I’ve enjoyed reading your (thought provoking, appreciative, touching, vulnerable, joyful, deeply personal) essays and reading through comments, occasionally commenting myself. I very much look forward to seeing what your second year of writing has in store.
Dear Jennie, Thanks so much! I'm so glad that you have been enjoying my essays - and it's been wonderful to interact with you along the way. I'm looking forward to year two as well -- I'm feeling very open to how it might unfold.
Hi Hal, I appreciate your most recent essay and want you to know how much they have meant to me. I am thankful that Rhonda shared one with me when we were on a trip together late last summer and connecting with you through them. Thank you for sharing your own experiences and personal growth, which have been an inspiration to me to find and pursue my own at this chapter of my life. It's been such a pleasure to get to know you.
Dear Barbara, Thanks for your comments here and in the past -- I too am glad that Rhonda connected us ... 60 years ago, we were walking the halls of the same building but didn't know each other. In the meantime, we've both lived full and rich lives and have moved all around the country. And now we are getting acquainted! Life is pretty amazing. It touches my heart to know that my writing about my journey has inspired you to pursue this new chapter of your life. I look forward to staying in touch! We may even get to meet IRL in December!
It's truly been a pleasure to both read about and share in your journey this past year.
I found your sharing of yourself and your life to be quite generous of you, Hal.
There is a way that one person (you!) authentically and vulnerably, opening up, lifting the veil, risking their humanity - is an invitation for others to do the same. Thank you, I've so enjoyed our shared communicative journey over this last year.
And the coming year??? Can't wait to hear what's next!
Dear Jane, Thanks so much! Your lovely comments throughout the year have always brought smiles to me and great appreciation for you. I'm so glad we are still connected. And of course, I am wishing you the very best with your life in NM!! And with your writing and poetry as well!!
