Hello to you Michael, and thanks for this lovely write.

This is Fred ... first time call.

I also wanted to say thank you for clapping one of my comments to another Medium writer (Yogi Embrace) recently. I've decided to follow you so that I might catch up on your stories too.

If you haven't already clicked the 'follow' tab to my stories, I'd love you to do so.

A couple of my own stories touch on the theme of 'communicating positively' with others, and one: 'Pessimism to Optimism via Australia'

I hope that we can both continue to write about things that interest; inspire; and bring a touch of happiness into the lives of others.

May your day be just right for you, and I hope that you continue to write inspirational stories.

All the best to you and yours,

Fred
