zenith
The dictionary says zenith is, “the point of culmination, the peak.” And here we are, at the culmination of alphabet-blogging. On the appointed day and everything. I think yesterday’s post (y for yesterday!) ended up being the this-is-what-I’m-taking-away-from-this-challenge post. So…go take a gander at that if you wanna know how I’ve evolved in these 30 whole days. I wanna get three things done with this final post:
- The thank you’s: to all you who’ve kept up with the reading. Who’ve commented in print or in person. I had a super secret hope of how many blog views I’d get this month (please, I know, it shouldn’t be about the numbers. It’s just the competitor in me…the person who needs a grade), and I’m so happy to say that you guys exceeded it. And then some! It’s just the loveliest to have the sorts of friends who shower you with presents and/or get behind your silly internet-related challenges. So, thanks. Seriously.
- The obligatory flashback montage: You may remember that I started this alphablog challenge with 3 of my pals. I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned that three more girls joined in over the course of the month. So, there’s been a veritable feast of alphabet goodness around us this month! I’ve had as much fun reading as writing. Here’s the roll call of the others, with links to my personal favorites of their lettered posts: Maike, Whitney G, Sarah, Megan, Whitney M, Aimee. I’m not going to pick a favorite of my own. That seems weird. Do you have one? (Feel free to not indulge the need-to-achieve-er in me.)
- The sneak peek at what’s to come: I need a little break from the daily blogging (don’t you? Whew!), but I’m gonna try to not disappear completely. Look for some once-a-week-style Christmas-themed posts in December. Then, there’s been a bit of blogger talk about a new collaborative challenge for January, so we’ll see what comes of that. But for sure, I’m gonna get to work on that getting some life in my life thing. Leonard Cohen says, “Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.” I’m ready to make some ashes y’all.
