I appreciate your appreciation @jgvinstl :-D
It definitely makes me feel pretty vulnerable to share these, at times.
But I'm very lucky to receive kind responses, mostly. Even though Steemit isn't perfect, I feel more safe to post here than on Facebook where there are lots of trolls and meanspiritedness. I also really like when people give constructive criticism. It helps a lot. Thanks for the New Year's wishes, same to you, and you are welcome on my blog any time :-)
