I've never had such fun reading responses to a column. You all are wonderful and extraordinary. Wish I could give each of you a hug.

Ritter, I only wish the words would come faster than I can write them.

I think you are ALL quirky and lovable.!!

Re: Smart, But Dead (5:30pm October 1, 2015):

You all are fabulous! I got goosebumps delighting in how unique each of you is: reading, creating, singing, enjoying music, collecting, empathizing, helping, loving, enjoying being happy, teaching, hunting for treasure, curling up listening to the rain, reveling in color. Never give up qualities that make you distinctive. Celebrate them. Develop them. There’s only ONE like you. Think about that. What a blessing. You’re not hurting anyone. You’re enjoying life! And enriching mine.

Christina, I can identify!

Deb, my tastes in music, books and movies don't always line up either. Not to worry. Nancy, I agree, totally normal can be boring. Joan, ironing can be creative...gives you a sense of accomplishment and creativity. Peg, write that book! You have so much creative potential. Read A. Sokoloff's Screenwriting Tips for Author; then go for it!

Thank you ALL for sharing your weirdness with me. Now I know I'm not alone.

Anyone else?
