Wow! I made it! I completed a post for every single day of September. Sometimes I wrote them ahead of time and scheduled them for posting, but I had one for each day! The Blog-Tember Challenge was a great way for me to get back into blogging on a regular basis. Now it's time to sit back with a cup of coffee cup of Zipfizz and some granola and reflect on the month.
I am really busy from day to day, but not all of it seems very "blog-worthy" in my opinion. I've never considered myself to be much of a writer--I'm much more comfortable creating than putting words down on paper, so it was great to have a prompt for each day: some of them were difficult for me, and others easier. I'm pretty sure that I was one of the "older" participants, but, the prompts were general enough for the most part that they could be applied to anyone's life.
I think that the most difficult prompt for me was the "Letter to my 16-year-old Self". It was also one of my favorites. That prompt required looking back at a time that is difficult for most teenage girls and kind of re-live some of those feelings, however, this time I had the advantage of living through it and experiencing life for many years afterwards. I've even lived through that age with two daughters as well! They say that hindsight is 20-20, and it really is true.
This Blog-Tember Challenge motivated me to finally get a brand new look--one that works better and is more in line with what I want my blog to portray. While I created the header and signature graphics, I bit the bullet and bought a professionally designed template and I am very pleased with it!
Last, but not least, I have found some new blogger friends and look forward to following their journey in the days and weeks to come. In yesterday's post, I looked forward to October and set out some goals to post about over the next 31 days.

Hi Linda, I read your post nodding my head in agreement. I think the letter to 16 year old me was one of my favourites to write too, along with the favourite quotes one of course. Blogtember's been such fun this year, I so can't wait till Blogtember 2016 :) Sending hugs x
This blog-tember challenge motivated me to revamp my blog site too. Yours look very pretty. You have done a great job.
