Well, Christmas and my birthday are done for a year, though I celebrate the twelve days of Christmas. I used to do this by giving my daughter small gifts each day of the twelve days. I felt it was less anti-climatic.
I hope all of you have enjoyed the festivities of your faith.
A number of years ago, I posted some of my essays on Medium.com. It was just a place I could keep them, and a number of people read them. A month or so ago, a poet acquaintance mentioned that she was posting on Medium and invited people to follow her. I checked out Medium.com again and found there was a greater diversity of subjects. I made public my essays and have put a few more there.
To my amazement, a couple of my essays have been listed as ‘Recommended Reading’. I can scarcely believe this. And some of my responses to other’s essays have been well received.
I can barely take this in. Yes, I have Ph.d, but I got it a long time ago. But people are interested in my views.
I’m really sorry that I haven’t visited as many blogs as I normally do in the last couple of weeks. I have been writing essays and Christmas shopping, and getting pneumonia.

I recommend against pneumonia, but congratulations on the rest!
