Day 31 of 31 Days! Amazing. I honestly didn’t think I’d make it through, but I tried and found I really enjoyed it. I expected this challenge to be one I’d take on and then dread. I didn’t. I didn’t dread it even once! There were days I was really late in posting – just the hours in my day went away, or I spent a lot of time processing before I could write it here.
But I wanted to write. So I did anyway.
I didn’t worry about following grammar rules or doing things right. I just wrote. This challenge came at a good time for me too, helped me stay focused. I know this, but always forget — I do not like October. October is a particularly hard month for me, it is an icky month. It’s not fall. It’s not winter. Everything is dead. There is no color. It is too dark. And as I mentioned in other posts, October carries some life turning point baggage. I like to remember October when I spent the years of 7-14 living in northern Wisconsin. Then October was good. I feel so excited that tomorrow is November 1st. {Confession: I started listening to Christmas music this last weekend just to get through and finish up the month.}
I will definitely be more consistent with blogging {at least for a while}. After all – I did not finish all the house projects I wanted completed. They are close, but not 100%. I have been collecting pictures though. Some of the projects started four years ago!!!! Really, that is pretty ridiculous – but a lot has happened. Anyway, I will get those up for you to see. Eventually.
I still have a hard time believing I did it! 31 Days of blogging. in a row! While I won’t keep it up forever, I am feeling the need to continue just a bit more. I’ve decided I want to focus on Thankfulness as we enter the Thanksgiving season. {I LOVE this time of year – from here on out. I can’t believe we are here again already! A year ago our family was coming in one week. This year will be MUCH quieter.}
This is not a new idea, but I’m going to post something I am thankful for each day leading up to Thanksgiving.
Anyone want to join me?
I don’t know how to do linky’s. If there is an interest and a reason to figure out the linky process – I will. At the very least, if you are going to post regularly on what you are thankful for – will you please leave me a comment so I can visit and share in your thankfulness and blessings with you?
**okay – the wind is howling…. I’m going to quit editing, I’ve already lost power once & had to re-calibrate the modem. It took me 45 min to get modem back on & into WordPress again. So I want to get this posted before my power flickers again. Please excuse stupid sentences or obvious what? mistakes.**
