I remember as a student rewriting papers until I decided the penmanship looked as good as it could. The sad part is I was more concerned that my “e” didn’t look like an “i” or my “m” like an “n” and didn’t absorb the important part, the content. At my advanced age, I’m still guilty of retaining very little and to justify that fact I’ve self labeled myself with ADD, borderline ADHD.

I’ve been writing for awhile now and have had many positive comments. I’ve also experienced a few attacks when the topic doesn’t align with worldly values and recently stepped away from posting on Facebook because it was getting harder and harder to not “judge”.
