See all articles in 31 Days of Showing Up

I started out this month — this 31-day blogging project — with the desire need to finish at least one thing I’ve begun. I thought setting a goal and seeing it through would give me a sense of accomplishment. I am definitely relieved that only one day remains, and I look forward to some blog freedom.

However . . .

While I’ve showed up here every day in some form or another, there’s not much of a sense of accomplishment. It turns out that the feeling of accomplishment comes with a job well done, not necessarily with a job completed.

I had good intentions, and as usual, life happened. Unfortunately, good intentions don’t make for good work. While I’ve given all I’ve had to this project, it’s been more like leftovers instead of the best of me.

Nevertheless, I am thankful you showed up here with me each day. Thank you for indulging my daily posts and engaging with me.

I hope you’ll come back tomorrow for the final day. I plan on having a little surprise for you.
