S lice of Life challenge: 30 straight days of blogging
L earning about the challenge from a friend who writes
I wonder if my writing is on a par with the other writers
C hoosing to participate is better than losing the opportunity
E nergized by what I read on the first day, I plunge in
************************
O verwhelmed by the technology I struggle for several days
F inally I figure it out and can post in a timely way
*************************
L ike so many things in life, growth doesn’t come easily
I am so glad I didn’t give up
F or I have found a community of writers to support my efforts
E very day of the Challenge has taught me something new
****************************
A big shout-out to all my fellow bloggers who have hung in there! For those who didn’t make it, see you next year!

Appreciate this line the most: “E very day of the Challenge has taught me something new”
True, that.

Entering with the thoughts of can I do this, exiting with the thoughts I did this and I will be back. This month always has its ups and downs, but they don’t stay down long. So don’t stop at the end of the month, come back on Tuesdays. 🙂

Great idea! I may use this in the next few days as I start to reflect on my slicing journey this year. Last year was MY first year, and coming back has been so much easier after a year of experience! Hang in there! Loved this slice! 🙂
