You don't know me , but I'm glad you wrote this and I hope you get back to posting. Always enjoyed your posts.
I appreciate you taking the time to share that now.
I honestly had no expectations when posting this, of rewards or feedback - though stuff like this is an encouragement for me to reconsider why it might be worthwhile to pick up and share a bit more every now and then. It's good to know there is at least one other person who's been reading and appreciating some of my stuff - and that alone is worth weighing in.
The more mistakes I make, the less their frequency becomes. The better I get.
I guess that's the aim - and perhaps, marker of success.
Just hopefully you've been working in a field you've been enjoying! I suppose even if we had all the money at our fingertips, it'd be boring to sit around and do nothing all day - most of us would still want/need something worthwhile to invest our time & energy into. So even despite our mistakes that could've had us in early retirement, at least hopefully you've been finding satisfaction & success in what you've been doing instead... 🙏
