Well done and your resolve is to be admired.<br /><br />I'm not insecure about my writing. Then again, if somebody doesn't like my writing, so be it. I'm writing for the therapy and the sharing of thoughts.<br /><br />Have a lovely Sunday.<br /><br />Gary :) klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-27591903912735250302015-10-10T14:42:13.896-06:002015-10-10T14:42:13.896-06:00Never give up! :) You're doing great with gett...Never give up! :) You're doing great with getting out there.
