Can a get a WOO-HOO???!!!!
:-)
I cannot believe this is post 100 of my challenge!!! I woke up this morning, realized I would be reaching my goal today and got the biggest grin on my face. What a great feeling!
While I learned quite a few things through this (not so) little process, the number one thing that comes to mind is this:
I had it backwards.
Before this, I would wait for the "big" idea and then write. The last 100 days forced me to reverse course and write whether or not I had an idea. (Sometimes this was pretty evident, as in the "blah, blah, blah" post . . .)
Please forgive me for saying this, as it sounds rather self-absorbed, but I feel like I learned I was stronger than I thought I was. More committed. More enduring. I realized that sounds a bit dramatic as I'm talking about writing a blog, not running a marathon. But in essence that's what it felt like to me. Carving out time every single day whether I felt like it, whether I really had time. Learning to be still and listen. Even if it meant plugging my ears to the literal noise all around me. (Mental note: Next house must have office. With soundproof doors. And walls. And a large supply of chocolate . . .)
Anyway, I do appreciate all the positive comments whether left in the comments here, in my email or in person. Thanks for taking a few minutes to read this little bloggy every now and then and for offering encouragement.
Sheesh. This is starting to sound like an Oscar acceptance speech . . .
Anyway.
I really have enjoyed writing daily and hope to keep it up (well, mostly every day) so I hope you stick around, too.
Now. I'm off to find some form of chocolate to celebrate. Feel free to eat some and celebrate with me! :-)
