The challenge: Write 31 slices of daily life on my blog
The fears:
I would run out of ideas,
time,
inspiration,
energy…
Keeping me going:
Reading posts about ordinary lives lived in far away places,
Chatting with friends about the craft of writing,
Sharing struggles to post late at night or in the wee hours of the morning,
The orange stickers Sally gave me to mark each slice on the calendar,
The joy of writing
Sweet reward:
Slices of life offer a chance to peek into the world of another. These missives brighten my day, broaden my world and help me reflect on my daily choices. I am truly thankful.

You nailed it! “These missives brighten my day, broaden my world and help me reflect on my daily choices. I am truly thankful.” Thank you for your endless encouragement, nudges to participate in our short-lived morning ‘write club,’ and comments that cheered me on. A zillion thanks!

Ditto! (What Cindy said.) I am thankful for the inspiration other slicers offered in both the subject matter and format
