Why – 31 Days of Oct-ember

My personality requires routine in most things, and writing is no exception. While I wanted to participate in the Write 31 challenge – posting something every day for the month of October – I also know my limitations.

My Surprising Talent

I celebrated the deeper conversations #10thingstotellyou prompted, but we can’t always choose our talents.

Helping Others Feel Loved

My extracurriculars finally catching up to me, I slumped on the couch. “What’s this?” she asked, noting my energy level lower than normal.

Marking Time – Months to Years

How do you note the passage of time? Are the candles on your birthday cake enough to give you a sense of the present? Or is it your kiddo’s current grade in school? We do it a bit differently at Camp Fradd.

Jay and I have been celebrating monthiversaries since around the 3-month mark. Is that right? Or did we start before that? I remember clearly our half-yeariversary celebration. Each month he did something special for dinner and bought me a different kind of flower.

Writing about Writing

My attempt at the #100DayProject has me trying make both a routine and a topic list for my writing. For the routine, I’m borrowing from my previous fitness routine and adapting it. Instead of going to the gym during my 1 hour lunch break, I’m finding a cozy spot in the library and settling in.
