Sometimes we (I) have the mistakes down, it's that different story that's scary, for sure. Thanks Mark!

As you suggest, we've just had so much practice with the mistakes and associated patterns of behavior. It takes progressively more hutzpah to change the older we get. Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.

I appreciate that Vera. Using fewer words to express myself has always been a challenge as you might have noticed. Likewise, dipping our toes into something different is always a bit intimidating so it's particularly helpful to know that loved ones are onboard. Tx LD

I'm much more comfortable writing what I already know, mistakes and all.

So right, Mark. I find myself standing on the edge of that cliff often.

Thanks Mark. I found myself toying with a response - my own empty page if you like. Who goes there! Smile.

Thanks Philip - That is very funny because it is so true. I find myself stirred in some way by another's writing and yet struggle to come up with anything that expresses why.
