goodnight DiC, sleep well i think that i'd like to bring back to the candle in the window why a candle in the window? The tradition of burning a candle in the window: Placing a burning candle in one's window is a common tradition that dates back to colonial times. Candle light often evokes the warmth of home and family. The fireplace was center of family life in days gone by, and thus the candle was generally lit from that fire. Westlake Bay Village Observer and so

thanks Rick

thanks Rick, was a good day, but i was just so tired

hello @Reader1810 and @rickproehl going to have a quick nap, see y'all around

i love the glimpses you give into the process with these. i know from past discussions that they aren't easy to do, but seeing the evolution as you drill down the form is fascinating. helps me to appreciate the final versions, and all your work, that much more. xo

well Cia, you asked: honestly, i can't remember how i found my way here. but now that i'm here, y'all are stuck with me. lol! i've made some really good friends, have learned so much, and read so much good poetry and fiction. i know that my life is richer because of these relationships. that’s part of what keeps me coming back. i wish i could tell new members, lurkers, “guests” that there is so much more to GA than the stories and poems. it doesn’t cost anything to get involved. get a membership, make a few comments. heck if you really like it, leave a review. most of the authors respond in a day or so. most of them will even accept a negative comment, if it’s given in a kind tone. now where else can you get that kind of interaction with an author? i’ve seen the other sites, none of them have the immersive experience of GA. where else can you join a chat group with people from all over the world who enjoy the stories, and talk about life, love, surviving and thriving? it’s important i think that readers know how important likes and comments are. i didn’t know until i had been here for a couple of years. the authors work very hard to give us these wonderful things to read. they do this in their spare time, juggling families, and jobs. i’ve struggled with wondering if my comments were “worthy' or if they sounded like everyone else’s. i’ve been told time and again by several well respected authors that it doesn’t matter if you say something simple like, “I really enjoyed that” it matters. my favorite spots are the Forums page, to see what’s new, and who’s online; the Blogs page, to see who’s writing what. I’m a huge fan of Carlos’s Ask An Author (AAA), Live Poets is a wonderful area to read some great stuff, meet the poets, even learn to write poetry yourself. obviously, i could go on and on but i'll stop here.

taking care of yourself means listening to people who love you time for me to get to bed good night DiC

good night Def sleep well
