Oh, my goodness! Barbara, what a wonderful message!! I soooo understand what you mean! I'm pretty new here, too - and I just want to read EVERYthing!!

You might love me - or not - when you find out that last week I started a "daily 5" article... I realised if I put a lot of articles in one, it could feel overwhelming.

So I just put five in each day. Then I started with "5 under 5" - so I will have five articles that are all between one and four-minute reads.

That should feel lighter and easier, and still supports writers and builds community without people feeling like they just ate 14 Christmas dinners!

Thanks sooo much for reading and for your lovely comment. Sounds like you're enjoying the sense of community here, too - I know I sure am. Been living an isolated life for many years and Medium has been a godsend! Glad to have met you and it'll be fun to hang out here with you! xoxo
