Reflection
When
Natalie first brought the writing challenge to the staff, I had mixed feelings.
I’d love to really dedicate time each day
for my own writing, but what will people think if they read them?
Eventually, I bit the bullet and decided to give it a shot.
One
month of stories connected to my mom. One month reflecting on the fortunate
childhood I had. One month giving written appreciation for the friendship
between my mom and me.
One
month, and I still have so many stories I want to share, so I will continue. If
I let a day slide by, it may become more, and then I will be upset with myself
for not writing the stories that go through my head as I go through various
daily activities. I have some hard stories to write, and when I started my
blog, I planned to get to them toward the end of the month, but I have to wait
until I am feeling emotionally strong.
Tonight
is not a night of a Mom story, but a night of refreshing my brainstorm list and
making a plan on how to continue writing so that it is therapeutic and
something for me.
I'm so glad you decided to participate in the challenge. You have been an inspiration to me! I will continue to be a faithful follower:)
