Starting on Monday, October 1st, I have decided to participate in 31 Days, linking up over at the Nester’s. {LOVE her tag line: It doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful!}  Yep, I’m going to jump start writing in this corner of the world again – for 31 Days. in. a row.  Going from hardly a moment of time to post – to posting each day will be an extreme struggle/stretch.  But I’m ready to face this head on.

I have not given more than a day’s thought towards this idea.

I’m SURE I don’t know the full ramifications of what I’m contemplating.

It isn’t that I haven’t wanted to post.  I just haven’t felt it was worthy enough to post about, or I didn’t have time to think it all the way through, or find a picture to go with it.  OR, the worst — I had a post written.  It was awesome, had a picture.  I knew it was what I was supposed to say, answered very specific questions for me.  I pushed ‘Publish’. Then I woke up! I had not written.  I did not have my specific answer. I had no recollection of what I’d ‘written’ about. So, ya… *humph!* To say the least, I was NOT impressed with myself.  It was so disappointing. {sadly, this has happened more than once in the last month}

This is what I was preparing to do a year ago, we flew out Oct 5th.  I was packing to go to Washington DC with my dad and my son for 6 days (4 there, 2 days of travel–did you know it takes a minimum of 12 hours flying to get from Alaska to Washington DC?).  I had never been to DC.  My whole life (okay, more like 30 years) I’ve really, really wanted to see Washington DC. I still haven’t seen the East Coast in fall – someday, {please Lord}. We went to early to see fall.

Since I can’t focus on any one thing for more than a moment, let alone 31 Days, I know there is NO way I can decide on 31 Days of one topic.  {ex: I’ve been trying to remember for 4 days to do laundry.  I keep remembering at odd times that I meant to start several hours ago!!} So I’m cheating.  It’ll be ’31 Days of life’.

I plan to post a picture each day, with that picture there may be some writing.  I might post a verse that is standing out in my mind from Bible Study or it might be thoughts I’m working on.  It might be about being a Child of God, Daughter of the King, Princess.  It might be about home school.  It might be about being Gluten Free.  It might be about being a single parent.  It might be about business start up.

What I can for sure tell you, it will reflect life in all aspects. For 31 Days.  I’m excited & nervous.  I’m 75% sure I’ll fail at some point.  I fully expect, but am hoping against, I won’t make it to posting each day.  Please, I’m requesting you extend grace and asking forgivness now.  If I miss a day, know it is torturing me in my sleep and I’ll work to post two the next day.
