Thank you for your understanding, Theodore. I'm working on it. Hugs!

Thank you, Carol, for your understanding. Worry should be my middle name. I don't have a middle name and I think that would be a great fit! Hugs

Hi & Hugs to Everyone,
Stopping by to apologize for not being very active in the group. Most of you know I have numerous physical and mental illnesses. Those of you who follow my Medium articles know I've had some very bad days recently.

My husband has been out of town over the last week and it's been emotionally and physically difficult. Besides missing him dearly, I don't like being in the house alone, so I'm extra-anxious. Plus I've had extra household and doggie chores that have exhausted and pained me. I hoped the thoracic shots would start working, but I've had 16 shots (yup, 16) over the lasts two months and I remain in great pain.

I sound like I'm whining and I don't mean to. I'm sorry. Just trying to explain lack of input, though I've done my best keeping up with everyone's Medium postings. I apologize if I missed any and I plan to check on that.

Luckily Hubby is on his way home and will arrive after midnight. I may or may not be awake when he comes home, but I will be on the sofa waiting for him along with our furry family.

I'm a worry bean and am always concerned I may have offended someone or hurt their feelings when it is never my intention to do so. I don't mean to be a social buffoon, it just happens naturally. So if I owe anyone a reparation, please, please, please give me the chance to make amends.

I care about all of you and don't want my recent demeanor to cause a rift with anyone. However, if you find me personally offputting, I completely understand and will back off. Of course, I'd be sad, but I respect other people's feelings and know I can be a real downer at times.

Love & Hugs to All! Sincerely, Sam

Congratulations, Ted! Hugs!

This is my second poem post to Medium using a photo of one of my early paintings. I figure it's better than not putting a photo. Hugs to All.

Congratulations, Carmel! Hugs!

Congratulations, Dale! Hugs!

I agree this is a Dale question because he submits his work to a few publications and would know.

I enjoy everyone's writing, especially when it contains humor.

No, I don't feel worthy submitting my work yet to one of their publications, but agree it does expand your reader reach, which is important.

Happy Saturday, Hugs to you all!

I hope it's okay to ask this question in this thread. For those of you who put your story in a place like The Writing Cooperative or Invisible Illness, do you earn more than posting it to the main board? Of course, I'm asking because I'm looking to maximize my earnings, as I'm sure we all are. And information is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Hugs to All, Sam

P.S. To All - I enjoy reading everyone's work on Medium. Sometimes it makes me laugh, or cry, and it certainly brightens my day to be part of this group. Thank you all for your acceptance and support. Hugs!!
