March is finally over and no, it did not go by fast…Maybe it was the relentless cold and never-melting snow, maybe some tough times at school, maybe just that March is my least favorite month, but am I glad it’s finally over! The daily writing was a bright spot, although I had a couple of days when I did not feel like writing at all because I was so tired until I actually started writing, and then it was ok. I wrote every day and loved reading other slicers’ thoughts, reflections, and observations. I made at least three comments every day and tried to make them meaningful and thoughtful. One day I posted a few minutes past the midnight deadline, so I won’t be able to do my pledge tomorrow, still, I feel a real sense of accomplishment and I thank you all for the encouragement and support. I have started my students blogging and many of them have really enjoyed it. And this was all because of this March SOL challenge – thank you, Two Writing Teachers! I hope I can meet many of you at the October Saturday Reunion. I may even drive on my own if there are plans for a NYC get together afterward. I would love to meet all of you in person. The connection was real, words do make a difference, they open our hearts, and when that happens, we are all better persons.
I love this sentence, because I agree, it is absolutely true:

That’s why I love March (even though all the reasons that you listed not to are absolutely true as well. 🙂

Oh, those days we don’t feel like writing, but when we sit down we realize we can do it. I think that is one of the things that always amazing me about this challenge; at the end of it there are always a few nuggets that would have slipped away if I hadn’t sat down to write.
Yay, March!
