April 30th and the last day of the Ultimate Blog Challenge. I am disappointed with the low participation. It is always more fun with more people. I haven’t shown up every day myself but I am proud that I have pulled up my socks for the last half. When I did a count, I missed 4 days. That is not bad, 4 days out of 30.
What I’ve learned on this round is not to get distracted by the low attendance. I focused on just writing my best each day on something that is important to me. I am inspired to show up by my fellow bloggers who showed up daily to cross the finish line. It is great satisfaction to finish what I’ve started. I was tempted daily to just drop out because of lack of interest. But then I had a second thought. I am interested. That’s all that is needed. The surprising thing is I have had lots of traffic on my site these last few months. Not that I am getting lots of comments or likes. It could be just a computer glitch. Even so, it is still very satisfying.
I am not sure what I will do here after April. I still have my love of words. I still love to see how the letters, words and sentences marach across the screen. I still need to complain and bitch about my lot. This is still a meditation exercise for me. So in all probability, you will still hear from me.

Thank you, Cheryl. I’m missing your voice. There’s much to write about these days.
Your reflection on this blog challenge definitely resonated with me. I enjoy what you have to say. I kept thinking the participation was decreased from the past times that I have done this. Keep writing.
Thank you, Cindy.
Congratulations Lily! I too wondered why so few but I still had fun and enjoyed your blogs. Missing 4 days is not big deal, you are still a winner! Looking forward to seeing how your next few months went with your garden come July! Keep your ideas coming!
Thanks, Martha. Hope to see/read you in July.
