I always read comments received from the loyal and valued readers of this blog.  I appreciate every comment, even if it is critical of something I have written.

Perhaps it is just a sign of getting older, but lately I have been making more mistakes.  These are mostly errors of spelling and grammar, but they are errors nonetheless.

I have even had two offers from my readership to be editors and proofreaders for me.  That is a very kind offer.  To be honest, in more than 7 1/2 years of writing this blog, it’s the first time I have had someone offer to help me with this volunteer effort.

Mistakes can happen any time of the day or night, but most of mine seem to come when I am under time pressure to post, or writing late at night.  (Note:  I am writing this piece late at night)

My sincere thanks to the offers of help.  Errors happen when you are writing a blog by yourself, but my readers willingness to help will cause me to be much more vigilant and review my writing more carefully in the future.  If the errors continue, I may want to sit down and talk with those making the editing offer.

This is a volunteer effort for me writing this blog and producing the podcasts, but I feel there is a community of people supporting me in the best way possible – by reading the blog, listening to the podcasts and spreading the word to others on social media.

I appreciate every tip I receive.  I try my best to follow-up in some way on all of them.  Some pan out for stories that appear on this blog, others don’t, but every tip, every message is appreciated.

As always, thanks for reading.  I promise to review my work more closely in the future.
