I enjoy reading posts like this Paul where you share you innermost thoughts and questions. Thank you for trusting us.

I'm not there: I don't consider myself "a writer." I found myself in the last two weeks sharing with two friends and I made the statement, "I am writing." That's easy for me to do -- and what then frightens me afterwards is that if and when I do, I'm always asked:

"Can you share with me what you've written?" -- at this point, I freeze. I mean I can publish here with all of you whom I've never met - but to have friends and family....that's an entirely different ball game! LOL - which I don' tknow why?

Well I do -- but let me conclude withthis.

Paul - you are one of the finest and best writers I follow. I don't care how many followers you have, I don't care how many articles you've numbered nor the claps or comments, there is a clear and fine style, voice that is undeniably yours that communicates with the touches of entertainment, humor or question - depending on which you are deciding to serve that day.

Please do not delay a second anymore -- say it:

"I am a writer."

I want to read from the writer, Paul Gardner!

Keep up the amazing work!
