By George...is that May I see - gosh she looks good!

That’s right, the merry month of May is just around the corner 

and with her comes the REFLECTIONS POST, starting on May 7th.

Add this Badge to your site!

One more day of posting (April 30th) and we can all give a collective sigh of relief knowing we survived the Challenge! 

But really, how hard was it? 

I bet you feel like you can tackle just about anything - even a little reflecting!

So that brings us to the REFLECTIONS POST and what it means to you.

* * *

While you may use this post to reflect on many things we would love to hear what you have to say about your alphabet adventures as a participant of the A to Z Challenge.

* * *

To help you along here are some things you might want to reflect on…

How did your journey through the alphabet go? Did you meet new bloggers with similar interests? Are there any you would like to feature and share with others?

What were the highlights for you? (lowlights too...we want to hear it all)

Did you enjoy posting daily? What was your biggest hurdle? What was your easiest task?

Was time management an issue? (I know, silly question, when isn’t time management an issue - but, it is worth reflecting on)

And what about your content - did you have a theme or did you wing it? Was it easy to come up with ideas for each letter, or were some harder? 

How about commenting - did you stumble upon lots of sites still using word verification? Did this prevent you from leaving a comment? What worked for your blog? 

What will you do different next year? (Yes, you are doing this next year, you know you are, even if your brain is telling you to run for the hills - it appreciates the exercise)

What pearls of wisdom do you want to share with the Co-Hosts of this event? (We would love to hear from you and know what you think would make this awesome event even better)

Are you looking forward to doing a little “reflecting” on May 7th? I know I am!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Y is all about YOU!

Before I go any further, How are You?  Having fun with the challenge?  Are you ready to fall over and take a week long break from blogging?  (I know I am!).  Never before have I posted so many days in a row and with a theme!   It's hard.  Especially when I jumped in with three participating blogs!  But anyway, this post isn't about me.  It's about you!  SO. . . I am gonna give you a few 'YOU can keep going' quotes! :) 

'Every great dream begins with a dreamer. 

Always remember, you have within you the 

Strength, the patience and the passion to 

Reach for the stars to change the world!'

~ Harriet Tubman

'Believe in yourself and others will too!"

~Unknown

'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger,

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean *you're lonely when you're alone

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter, 

Footsteps even lighter,"

~ Kelly Clarkson (Stronger)

See? YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU! 

If you have the want, and the will, you have a way! 

Good luck with the rest of the challenge!  I look forward to reading the last of the A to Z posts and continuing with the Reflection posts May 7th! 

*The lyrics here are changed from I to You.  (I told you this post was all about YOU) :)
