HOME–With the press of a “Publish” button, I cross the finish line of my month-long blogging marathon.

The bright-eyed idea folks over at NaBloPoMo, hardly put me up to this, but they’re the ones I’ve been lobbing &*%$@#!s at, over the past thirty days and thirty late nights. I also kicked myself a few times. But, no more. Tonight it’s OVER! I can relax now. I actually did it– and I can hardly believe it!

(And for those of you paying attention, yes, tonight is actually December 1- my hosting service was down again last night, so I couldn’t hit “Publish” until this morning.)

I cannot thank you enough for coming by as many times as you did to walk alongside me on this strange little blogging adventure. It would be an understatement to say that I have any idea why I did this. It was truly a fluke of a decision. November was as busy a month as I’ve had in years, without my blogging commitment.

Did I enjoy it? Was it as much fun as I thought it might be? Yes and Yes. In fact, there were only two nights out of thirty when I found myself with zero desire to post. Not bad odds for a creative endurance challenge.

My favorite surprise was Day 18: A Spontaneous Soufflé! I can’t wait to make another one. My favorite taste of the month, was, hands down, the Carrot and Leek Tart. My favorite new sport? Blind Olive Oil Tastings. My favorite discovery? I had enough time. I suppose we all have enough time to do whatever it is we want most in this life.

“Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.” ~Life’s Little Instruction Book, compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Now, I think I’ll take some time and find out how you’re doing.
