It is my custom to give maximum applause for every story I read and 20ish for comments. I do so, not always because I believe the quality of work is worth the max (often the quality is worth many more) but in my mind it isn’t so much about the time taken to commit those words to paper, but the lifetime it took for those words to come to life. It seems to me we are all learning, and we devote years to finding the words we wish to use. That is worth maximum claps. Bridget, your work, particularly, has been studied over years to bring to your audience the helpful guidance on how to become a better, or calmer, or more positive person. No way am I not going to give you maximum applause.
