It felt as though I struggled to be consistent with my writing.
I posted and commented almost every day.
Some posts were early, other near midnight and once after the bewitching hour.
I read lots of other amazing posts and thoughtful comments.
I struggled to make meaningful comments.
But the business of life sometimes got in the way.
People told me it's only a month, no big deal.
That was about staying on a 28 day cleanse.
I made the shakes in my hotel room during conferences.
I ordered approved food items when I had to eat out.
I logged miles walking at the conferences.
But life got in the way and I didn't complete a perfect 28 day cleanse.
Last year I accepted a challenge to Draw My Awesome Year.
Sometimes I struggled to journal and draw every day.
I didn't complete all the drawing assignments.
But I still learned so much about drawing and writing.
I have a colorful journal filled with memories of that year.
And this year I sorely miss the monthly guide to draw and journal my life.
I hope to continue writing a slice of my life.
I pay attention to my life.
I reflect about my life.
I appreciate the small things.
I look for nuances.
I am more present in my busy life.
Every challenge has its ups and downs, and I think participating in any challenge makes us stronger. Hooray for writing this month!!
ReplyDeleteI agree, thank you! Hooray!
DeleteLife does take precedent because otherwise what would you have to write about? It's been a great month and Tuesdays are just the right speed for a busy life.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try it. If I didn't, I would miss this writing group too much.
DeleteI hope that I am more present in my busy life, also. Great slice! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I think awareness of the importance of being present will nudge us.
