SOLSC Day 31
The challenge is over. We made it! When the call to sign up for the challenge came I did not hesitate. I signed up with no second thoughts. It was only afterwards that doubt crept in. Why did I do it? What do I possibly have to write about for 31 straight days? Will anyone bother to read what I write?
Well, why did I do it? It is a challenge and I like challenges. They are a way of helping me grow. Because I am retired I don’t write the way I once did. Use it or lose it. I don’t want to lose my writing skill. I also wanted to try some things I haven’t tried before and I know this is a safe and nurturing place to to that.
What do I possibly have to write about for 31 straight days. This is something I have asked myself the previous 4 times I took on this challenge. Many people plan their month in advance. I don’t. Many people make a list of possible topics. I don’t. I just hope for inspiration each day. One thing I did do differently this year, though, was to write a draft the night before I posted it. I didn’t feel so pressured this way.
Will anyone bother to read what I write? This I have no control over. I am always grateful for those who read my posts and then leave comments. They encourage me to try new things and to keep writing. I am happy that I can sometimes bring a smile to those who read my blog or share some information someone may not have known.
Will I be here next March? God willing, yes. I will probably still have the same reservations and doubts but that won’t stop me.
What will I do until then? I will be here every Tuesday (except for the weeks we will be away) sharing whatever is happening in my life. Hope to see many of you here each Tuesday as well.
Thanks to everyone at TWT for hosting this challenge. Thanks to all who took the time to read and comment on my posts. You are the best.

Glad you are here and that you plan to continue. I will, too. I made a list of ideas one day…and then mostly ignored it. But somehow I keep writing.
We all keep writing. That the marvelous thing about it. See you Tuesday.
I had the same doubts at the beginning. And yet, here we are, 31 (32 if you count the Tuesday before) posts in a row. I am looking forward to your posts about the quilt show and your upcoming trip. See you on Tuesday!
I will be here. Thanks for your comments throughout the month.
So glad that you took the challenge once again. I have enjoyed your slices and will continue seeing you each Tuesday. Thanks for all your comments on my slices – they are greatly appreciated. Here’s to many more challenges!
I think I would feel that something is missing if I didn’t participate. Thanks for your comments throughout the month.

So glad you hung in there for another year. I enjoy your sincere, level-headed,humorous approach to life that you share in yor slices. See. You on Tuesday!
Thanks, Barbara. I will be looking for you as well.
It’s amazing how we can find something to write about year after year. I, too, wonder at the beginning of the month if I will make it to the end. It’s always are relief to get to day 31. Another year in the books, now on to Tuesday! Thanks for commenting on my space. 🙂
Yes, on to Tuesdays.
See you Tuesday!
I will be there.
It’s been a great ride. You live a fun filled life and I’m glad you share it her in your blog!
Thanks for your comments, Amy.
So glad you’ll be back next March too!
I definitely will be.
I’ve enjoyed your slices,Bob! You always find something in the every things you do. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed them, Rose. Thank you for your comments.
Always love reading your post! See you on Tuesday! Looking forward to hearing about your trips!
I will be here – for better or worse.
I’m so glad any reservations that you may have are only part of your reflection. I like that you let the inspiration come to you each day. I’ve enjoyed reading your posts and appreciated your comments very much.
I have the same reservations every year yet here I am.
I do not make a list of topics or plan my slices ahead of time eithe. It’s amazing all the writing opportunities there around us!
All we have to do is be open to them.
Congratulations on 31 days of slicing. Isn’t it amazing. I agree that you can plan, but life happens and you get slicing! See you Tuesday!
I will be there.
It’s funny how we all start March the same way (why am I doing this?) and end March the same way (I am so glad I did this!). Thanks for showing up every day to write and comment, Bob – see you on Tuesdays!
Thanks, Tara. I have enjoyed reading your slices and appreciate your comments.
Yup, every year it begins with “Whyyyy?” and ends with “Whew!”. See you on Tuesday!
I will be here. Looking forward to your posts as well.
It’s quite a month of words, isn’t it? As we get to know one another, it’s sometimes a nice surprise to read a new approach, but then it’s also comforting to read similar things, dependable. I always like what you write, Bob, will look for quilts next Tuesday! Thanks for coming by my posts so faithfully, too.
Thanks, Linda. I really enjoy your posts. I always learn so much including books I need to add to my TBR list.
So glad you did join in. I’ve enjoyed your slices and am looking forward as well to next year as well.
Thanks, Bev. I will be looking for your posts as well.
