31 Silver Linings – A Writing Challenge {Day 28}

I’m doing a Fitbit challenge with my bestie and her sister-in-law. Every day, we’re walking to meet the personal goals we’ve set for ourselves, while also taking part in a bit of friendly competition. Some days are better than others and last week was a bit of a bust for me. But just knowing that others are watching to see that I’m still in the mix, trying my best, means something to me – and more importantly, keeps me from quitting.

It’s the same with this challenge. I know not all my posts have been award-winners, for sure. And I’m frankly often surprised by which resonate with folks. I don’t really put much stock in my readership stats (though I’d be lying if I claimed I didn’t look or care.). But I made a commitment to write every day this month and, just like my walking challenge, I’m buoyed by the knowledge that there are folks out there cheering me on. And with just a few days to go, I want to make sure I thank you, from the bottom of my heart. This challenge, and your encouragement, have rekindled a passion I’d thought long lost and I can’t wait to see where it leads.
