That's so typically generous of you Maria.

Medium can be a soulless beast, but one of the sources of genuine enjoyment is discovering the occasional new talent.

Ironically, at the age of 95, James falls into that category. But then it's never too late to start writing and when we write, we grow.

Thank you for bringing James to our attention.

Amidst all the mediocrity and click-bait, I've also discovered some wonderfully inspirational people whose writing may not get the recognition or reward it deserves from Medium (most of us don't), but engaging with them often makes my day.

Your positive outlook doesn't go unnoticed and you've made my day on more than one occasion in the past.
