Hello my dear friends on the Inkwell team. Hello community of writers. It's hard to read that 'good-bye'. The kindness and grace in the message is the glue that holds the Inkwell together. Thank you.
I am at a certain age, at a certain season in life. The richness of my experience at the Inkwell helps me to acknowledge change, and accept it. Last night I was reading about birthday celebrations in Bhutan. There aren't any, except once a year on January 1st, for everyone. It is not the number of years lived but how they are lived that matters, according to the Bhutanese.
My time with the Inkwell has made me rich, has added significance to my life. I thank all the writers who come back and offer their pieces for assessment. There has been such growth in some of these writers. It is rewarding to see.
I thank you @jayna for your leadership, for what you have taught me, for your patience and friendship. I thank you my dear friend @yaziris, for never giving up on me, for reaching across the decades and opening doors to a universe of technology and understanding that seemed impenetrable to me. @gracielaacevedo and @itsostylish: we shared our perspectives, our sensitivity, our world views. You opened my eyes. You were patient on those days when I was impatient. Thank you for your friendship and your forbearance. As for our young recruits: they are so bright. @millycf1976 and @grindan are gems, skilled writers with an acute sense of good writing. They will help to make the Inkwell even stronger in the future.
This is not good-bye. I'm here. It's just that, when I wake up in the morning I don't have to look and see if stories are read. When I go to bed at night, I won't have to check the community and make sure the 'work' is done. That's the idea of retirement, isn't it? I'll go at my own pace.
See all of you around. I'll be here.
With love,
@agmoore
You are a gem of a human being, @agmoore. My time with you admin-ing (to coin a term) The Ink Well community has been a delight. I've learned a lot from you too, my friend! I'm sure we will be seeing you around. And as a side benefit, you're now eligible for prizes in The Ink Well! 😍🤗😎
My guide, my teacher, my friend,
Thank you ⭐️🐝
😘
Wish you the best my dear friend. Yes, we'll keep in touch for sure. ❤
🌹🌹💫
Yes, we will✨
Keep well my dearest @agmoore. You taught me how to look beyond my own perspective; to see the finer details and not let my own opinion get in my way. I love you muchness and know that TIW will poorer without you!
Thank you my friend, 🌹🍀
Great Respected Madam @agmoore,
the thought of your separation from this community saddens my heart. My life was blessed whenever I got love and appreciation through your comments. Budding writers like me were inspired to move forward and write well by the lessons given by experienced and patient great writers like you. Your separation from the community is giving me such a feeling as if an elder sister or mother is leaving us and going somewhere else. I will remain convinced of your sensitivity and tolerance for the rest of my life. You are right that now this community has got two new knowledgeable and diamond shining admins @millycf1976 and @grindan. I know one of them very well as a writer of this community and I have seen and read many of her stories. The other admin is also very experienced and proven, have had a virtual chat with her a couple of times, and her coffee community is very well known. That's why it is expected that with the cooperation of these two and under the leadership of @jayna , there will be more speed in the work of the @theinkwell community.
Yes, I must also say that this community and I will miss you very much.
Always your admirer,
Yours sincerely

Thank you very much, @gracielaacevedo
Hello dear @agmoore, These last months I have been getting attached to the community, doing my best to follow the rules and be able to actively participate in @theinkwell.
Undoubtedly your work really motivated me to keep moving forward, as the Post says, your valuable comments and affection are not valued and I am a witness that it is so.
I know that we will continue reading each other in hive; I had not been able to read this farewell until today, (internet failures, common in Venezuela) but I am glad to do it today, thanks for the wonderful work and for all the advice, a strong virtual hug and I wish you a happy day.
🍀🌿
Thank you very much, @jackdeathblack. We will surely read each other on Hive.
Congratulations on finishing your season with TheInkWell for such a successful term! I can tell by the post above that you were well loved and appreciated - but when its time to head on, it's good to know that you did it at the time you thought best! so well done, and great success in the future to you!
and so glad that @millycf1976 and @grindan are coming in to close the gap!
have fun in your "retirement" heheheh enjoy it all!
