Thanks @ronni!
I guess I will leave it to others to decide whether I am "an excellent writer" or not-- but I appreciate the encouragement. In spite of 9000km and 30 years, I suppose echoes of Janteloven still hang as ghosts in my subconscious!
I considered it "shareworthy" particularly because the post was NOT "about Steemit" or "about cryptos" or one of the other usually popular areas. Art? Generally quite underrepresented... so that was definitely an encouragement.
