July 1, another new day, another new month. The morning is getting on and I’ve been tarrying with my morning tea and reading What My Father and I Don’t Talk About. 16 writers talk about their relationships with their father. It’s so speaks to me right now as I navigate my own journey with my father after the passing of my mother in October of last year. It’s been a difficult journey. Perhaps I will write about some of that during this July’s Ultimate Blog Challenge.
I’ve lost track of time and if not reminded of it by a UBC friend, I would have been late coming to the UBC party. I thought June has 31 days. I hope to show up here every day for July with a new post. I’ve participated for quite a few years. I’ve never planned on what I am writing. I just show up at the keyboard and hope for the best. Mostly it is just about my mundane every day life- moans and groans, gardening, arting and what I’ve been reading.
Perhaps I can make some changes, gives some thoughts and do a bit of planning. I am going to keep it easy and simple. There’s more likelihood of me succeeding if I do. I am happy to be in this writing community to learn and share. Happy writing everyone.

I’m looking forward to reading more of your posts this month. You are always so raw and real.
I would struggle with the topic of fathers and daughters conversation. Conversations with my dad were mostly superficial.
Thank you, Barbara. Fathers are not always easy to connect and talk to.
Lily, it’s great to see you back! I love your motto to just show up at the keyboard and hope for the best.
I trust your July UBC will be snow free, instead you’ll be able to harvest some of your veggies.
Thanks, Tamara. Happy to see you, too. Happy blogging!
I always look forward to reading your posts. I find them so down to earth and enlighten.
I’m glad you’re here, Lily, to journey through July’s UBC with me. I love that you write about your life in a world that is so different to mine, and I’ve learned so much about your lifestyle from reading your blog. 🙂
Thanks, Maureen. I learn from you, too.
