Finding . My . Self

I made it. Today is the final day of my month-long writing challenge. 

From this vantage point I’m wondering what the big deal was. Yet, it was a big deal for me a month ago when I dreaded sharing my thoughts and writing on-line. 

Tonight I feel calm and content. So often we’re told that the journey is more important than the destination - and right now I wholeheartedly agree. It certainly has been a huge learning for me and I am very happy to have come through it.

This challenge has taught me (or reinforced in me) that:

• I can commit to a task and complete it (even when exhausted and having to post at the last minute).

• There are some pieces of work that I am happy with and others, less so, but that both are okay.

• There are days when the writing comes easier than other days but that doesn’t matter - just writing is the important part.

• I still need to structure my day so that my writing isn't left till the end of the day (as was often the case).

• Each day is filled with opportunities for writing (whether a sign, an image, a piece of overheard conversation).

• I feel positive when I am doing what I love.

• The idea of doing something is often more terrifying than actually doing it.

• When I commit and treat my goal as serious, those around me do the same.

• I am blessed to be in a position where I can explore something creative for me.

• Tomorrow is filled with new possibilities.

• I really love writing.
