Bravo on the book news. And congratulations. That's stamina and commitment, to write weekly since 2022. I applaud your appreciative approach to daily life. Let's enjoy what we have, laugh (sometimes ruefully) at daily hiccups, and keep going forward.
It’s possible to have incurable cancer and still have moments of great joy, laughter, and gratitude in the course of most days. I write from personal experience. Your weekly postings on substack have delighted me. Just ordered your book mere minutes ago. Thank you!
Very pleased to order this book in Scotland. Much of the message is universal :)
As a young man nearing the completion of my seventh decade, it all seems to apply. It’s reminiscent of William Ian Miller’s later popular work but I prefer the chess allusions to Icelandic blood sagas (just a question of familiarity, I guess).
D. J. Enright , the late, lamented poet also wrote on these themes latterly (wherein, there’s the clue). Thanks. All the best, John.

I really have to move the comma!
