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.
