Whew!
I don't know about all of you other Blogging A-Z Challenge April 2012 participants but I am tired . . . and grateful.
Tired - because I had no idea blogging daily was so much work. Plus, since I am not a naturally positive person (oh, do I work on it!) it took a lot of effort to write interesting, encouraging, motivating posts. I so hoped it worked - at least most of the time! - and that you found support and inspiration and some like-minded souls and a new friend (or three - me and the tortoises.)
Grateful - because I was once again reminded of how many creative, amazing, talented, funny, sincere people live and breathe and make art out there in the world beyond the palm trees and beaches that border my little corner of the universe.
Thank you to Arlee Bird and the rest of the A-Z Challenge co-hosts for running this blog hop, and thank you to all the wonderful bloggers who commented and "followed" us here at The Shellshank Redemption. We hope you'll come back soon!

Yeah it's definitely a lot of posting.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job with your posts! I always left your blog feeling encouraged. :)
ReplyDeleteMichael - definitely! But well worth the effort. :)
ReplyDeleteDana - thank you so much! I really appreciate that. :)
Yes, it is very draining and I can't say I've really relaxed yet becuase I feel like there's still something I need to do-
ReplyDeleteTracy - I know the feeling! I keep thinking I'm forgetting something... :)
ReplyDeleteOh, you don't want to forget these posts, Madeline! Every single one was such a gem--and I don't mean the quotes (though I loved them, too). I mean YOUR words, your insights, your encouragement. I hope you'll make a little A to Z book with alllllll your posts, 'cause dang, woman. You did good!
ReplyDeleteCathy - that is so sweet! I really appreciate your kind words. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm still feeling tired, honestly this year was a lot more work than last year for some reason. I think it was because I had so many more blogger buddies to follow, which is a great thing. But it also wore me out LOL. I loved your Challenge theme and owe you for a great deal of inspiration! :)
ReplyDeleteYou survived! Now to go into hibernation mode for a month or so, right? Of course write. =]
ReplyDeleteJulie - you don't owe me anything. It was my pleasure. :)
ReplyDeleteMilo - ha! Not so much hibernation mode as "write mode." :) I am so behind on so much...
I think sticking to it counts for a lot! Way to go, Madeline!
ReplyDeleteStacy - thanks! I'm glad I stuck it out. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulation on finishing the challenge. I didn't visit all blogs during the challenge but, cross my heart, I'm visiting every single one with reflection post! I am so glad my journey brought me here.
ReplyDeleteEvalina, This and that...
Evalina - thanks so much for stopping by and for "following" us here at TSR! :)
