I mentioned it early in the month. I had agreed to participate in NaBloPoMo.

I’m glad I managed it.  I wish to heaven that every single post had been quality.  I admit whole-heartedly that a few days were junk.

What I got out of it – the happiness that I have managed to consistently post. After almost a year where I couldn’t seem to come up with one post a week, barely two a month – it feels good to be posting with some consistency again.

I’m not the type of person that can likely post something EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. I can definitely manage several a week and be content with that.  I would like to post every day, but I don’t like posting drivel.

When life gets the better of me, and it will happen, I won’t panic about not getting a post in THAT.DAY. But I will try to soon.

There were several posts I made this month that I am proud of, and I’m going to link them now 🙂

*I loved my Weekly Winners back at the first of the month.

*I Am Real

*Angel made my heart swell with love and showed me that there is never enough.

*I expressed my guilt and fear over Brandon’s condition.

*I flashed back to my past while trying to treasure the now.

*And finally I got waxing (haiku) poetic over Christmas decorations.

All in all, a crazy month, happiness, sadness, tears and laughter all mixed in.  My son broke his arm, and then had a positive CF test. My Riley had her IEP plan set for school and has shown us both progression and regression, stirring hope and fear and leaving us just as confused, it not more so, than when this month started.  Angel tricked us into thinking everything was hunky dorey before scaring the pants off of us by having alarmingly low lung functions.

But then there was Thanksgiving, and wonderful blogger parties, and preparing for Christmas, baking, knitting and decorating.

I’m glad I did NaBlo and while I’m not crazy enough to try to commit to it for December again (during Christmas?)…but I need to learn how to say no.  So I’m only committing to posting regularly – at least 4 days a week. So it’s regular, but I will not burn out.

I expect to commit to another NaBlo month in the coming year…but for now I’m going to enjoy the month and regularly blogging again.

Thanks for visiting so much and pushing my numbers up to surprising levels!  It’s been a wonderful month and I hope you keep coming back!!
