Thank you for such a great article. I have been “retired” for about 1 year. As a consultant I thought that I was writing a lot then. It included proposals, reports, analysis and the like. But it wasn’t regular and came in fits and spurts.

In the past year I have written as much if not more. I now do it regularly. I post, blog respond to others such as you and have a book coming out in a month.

Before I dreaded writing. Now I see it as a way to express my thoughts and to share with others. From it I explore what others say and think. I then use these things to enhance my own thoughts and opinions.

You have reinforced what I am doing and found about myself. It has expanded my horizon and gives me an excitement that was missing before.

thank you
