Many thanks to these lovely readers for their encouragement to continue:
From Elspeth:
Beautiful words, thank you. Continue if you’re able to.
From Susan:
Please continue as long as you can/want. I truly enjoy your site. Thank you for all that you do.
From Marie:
Absolutely and Happy Birthday!
From Sandra:
I would like to see ElderChicks continue. I’m in your demographic – a senior woman who is retired. I enjoy hearing the thoughts of other women my age. While I’m not much of a writer, and don’t contribute much, I do like to know how we senior women are managing, coping with, and/or enjoying our retirement years. Please keep it going.
From Cheryl:
I’ve enjoyed reading about us “ElderChicks”. It’s rare to find anything for the older woman. At least anything that doesn’t have ads for stuff I’d rather not mention. Do what you want.
From Vicki:
I am now an elder chick. Would love to connect with others that proudly wear that title. We are helping to further the purpose movement with My Future Purpose. Our purpose is to inspire yours.
From Sally:
Definitely continue. I’m only an occasional reader but love the honest expression of unedited thoughts and feelings of women my age. I recently turned 80- a big milestone in life – and I treasure hearing from women my own age, knowing how much wisdom an older point of view can bring. Thank you so much for this great blog and yes, please continue.
From Max:
Happy Birthday!! And, yes I hope the blog continues.
From Pennie:
I want your blog to continue.
From Joan:
Yes, I would like it to continue.
From Kathy:
Yes, please. I’m a young elder chick (74), in spirit only. And enjoys the musings, foresight, and broadening of my horizons with each blog. Poor health has slowed me from my desire to travel more than I do, but your travel blogs and stories of your trips are always welcome. Thank you for being a part of my internet circle.
ElderChicks 
Please continue – I enjoy the posts.
Yes please. I really enjoy the blog, and I’d like you to continue if you want to.
Yes! Please continue. The words of wisdom are inspiring! Mary Ellen
I’ve only recently found your blog. And, yes! I’d love to see it continue.
Please yes, continue even to the point of finding someone to mentor to keep going if you can’t for some reason. It’s a value to other women as the year roll on. Thank you for the idea, not always being able to read items as I would desire. Praying for the communication to continue.
I am new. Happy Birthday, I hope you
continue and I get the hang of it☺️Karen
