As I come to the end of my adventure in writing, I am finding that it is time to reflect on the experience. When I was thinking about making this commitment to write every day, I sat down and wrote down 30 words that epitomized what brought me joy. I have used 28 of those words and will use another one tomorrow as an ending. (Technology wasn't on the original list!) Each day as I sat down to write my post, I looked at the list and one of the words popped out as something that I was experiencing in my life. I think that's pretty amazing! I don't know what possessed me to put "help" on the list. However, it was there when I experienced the need to ask for help after I fell down the stairs. It makes me wonder-did I somehow know? A foreshadowing perhaps?
It has been fun to share my life with all of you. Sometimes I don't know if anyone is reading my posts. I want to thank all of you who sent me messages and left comments. It helped to know that my words weren't just getting lost in cyberspace. I know that commenting on the blog page is difficult if you don't have a Google account. However, many of you found other ways to comment, and I thank you for that.
Most days the words just flowed. A few days I found it was harder to write. You probably noticed that I also did some research which was a lot of fun! I often looked for and found some fabulous quotes. I was frequently surprised and amazed at what some famous people had said about the subjects I was researching. I also spent a lot of time looking for images that enhanced the posts. A few times I added personal pictures that I thought were pertinent.
Writing as a creative process is something that I obviously enjoy. I have always loved the creative process whether it was knitting or crocheting blankets for my grandchildren or scrap-booking. Art was one of my favorite things to teach in my classroom when I was a teacher. I still want to paint; the time just hasn't been right for it yet. For now, I am happy focusing on my writing as a creative project.

Have you found your joy today?
I really liked your month of posts! It's extremely hard to write everyday, but it seems like you enjoyed the exercise. I'm glad you've had a chance to write so much.
