Today marks the end of the Blog-A-Day Challenge for February... well except that I owe one extra post for my missing earlier this week. All I can say is I'm really happy, yet have mixed feelings. I love blogging. It helps me sort through thoughts, lets others gain a glimpse of what I do and what interests me, and (maybe/hopefully) contributes to the greater good as far as advancing learning. That all said, I got to the point halfway through the month of not wanting to blog each day because it felt so forced. If I had a busy day at work, went to Civil Air Patrol, got home at 11 and was dead tired, the last thing that I would have done was blog. But I was forced... ok I forced myself. Those were the rules.
I'm excited because now when I have ideas I've been thinking, "OK this has potential for a good blog post." I just won't blog every day. Kudos to those of you that can do that. BIG KUDOS to the Schreyer Bloggers that stuck it out this month. Not only that, but they posted EVERY DAY. Even weekends! They are the true winners. Hopefully they take away the lesson that blogging doesn't have to be a huge deal or amount of time. Something simple to post and share can mean a lot.
I may challenge myself again sometime... just not in the near future. I feel refreshed knowing that I can post and it's not "required" per se. I'm more intrigued already. I hope all of you that took part had fun. I know I did.

Nice work, Erin! It is interesting to me what a personal and public thing blogging is. Having to write everyday makes for a really challenging month, but it let me explore quite a bit more about how I've been feeling. I do like finding time to write and reflect -- even with all the other craziness that goes on.
