So they asked us to do a reflection post after the A-Z challenge. I think I could probably squeak out one more post about my experience. Reflection, what does that mean really? To express carefully considered thoughts I would expect.


So here goes.....

I am ever so grateful that my friend Martha suggested that I do A-Z. I've really never been much of a joiner truth been told.

And once month of blogging every day.... who would have thought that I could do it? Until the day I signed up to do the A-Z Challenge I didn't think it was possible. Not this procrastinator!

Now I can proudly consider myself a former procrastinator; sort of .....

Thinking up fun posts to publish for each letter of the alphabet was sometimes a snap sometimes not quite as easy! But it pushed me and sharpened my abilities made me a better blogger or at least I hope it did. I'd like to think you enjoyed my blog posts as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Since this is my blog and I can shamelessly plug what I've done and do here I thought I'd just list the top three posts that received the most attention by you the readers during the challenge. Just in case you missed anything and want to take a peek, click on the links below!

WHAT YOU LIKED THE BEST

•  my 1969 rolling stones concert poster- the letter P
• what kind of bee's make milk?-the letter B
• when nature calls- the letter N

Then there are those post that I had fun writing or I got a lot of feedback about; so I thought I'd share them as well.

POSTS I THINK YOU MIGHT ENJOY READING

• will that be one lump or twelve?-the letter T
• oh my aching head-the letter H
• embracing my inner ernest today- the letter E

And the perks of being involved in the challenge?

I made some new friends; ones that I'm so excited to keep in touch with after this challenge. And their blogs? Wow are they some great blogs to read. I read and read information, stories, fiction and non, poetry, viewed unbelievable photography, learned history I laughed, I cried, and I learned many things over the course of a month. I traveled all over the planet from the comfort of my couch. Really how cool is that?  I've amassed a small list of novels and novella's from some new and exciting authors that I've met through their blogs. Now I know why this challenge's numbers grow and grow every year.

But truthfully there are many blogs that I just didn't have the time to visit, and it's a shame but there just weren't enough hours in the day.  It really was nice to have the list available to visit other blogs at me leisure after the challenge was finished to catch a few extras. I might also say at this point how impressed this newbie was at how organized everything was. I didn't have a single problem navigating my around and getting acquainted with how things were done all the instructions were clear and concise, it was very well done.

I am so very appreciative with how my regular readers jumped on the band wagon and supported all those posts throughout the month! They were really fabulous visiting, reading and commenting with the utmost enthusiasm all the way to the end.  I am so hook on this challenge and it's benefits that I've already started asking people who weren't involved to consider joining me for next year.

Just planting the seeds....anyhoo.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention just one more time my gratitude to all the other A-Z-ers who visited whether it be once or faithfully visited and commented throughout the month, I am very grateful for your visits and our new and budding friendships. 

I can't keep myself from asking however, if your reading this: it was good for me; how was it for you?
