30 in 30 Toward 60

We celebrated my nephew’s Big 4-0 this weekend. Among the guests were some wonderful extended family members who had gathered for the special occasion. As we celebrated nephew’s milestone, my pending Big Day became a topic of discussion. I discovered that there were those beyond my immediate family who were actually reading – and anxiously awaiting - my next post. Yes, I have a very small but dedicated blog following!

This blog business has been so personally satisfying. The frustrated writer in me is finding immense pleasure in putting thoughts into words, reflecting on the wonderfulness and lessons of my life. Having the nerve to hit the “Publish” button has been a challenge, yet hearing that others have enjoyed my shared missives has been a surprisingly gratifying reward. My inner Sally Field is exclaiming, “You like me, you really like me”!

What to write next? With my Big Day just a month away on March 30, I have decided to offer thirty posts in thirty days. March 1^st will be my kick-off. I’ll admit that I am feeling some pressure. While the content of earlier posts has magically flowed from my head to my fingertips, I may be setting myself up for deadline driven writer’s block. To my kind followers, thank you in advance for

reading. Wish me luck. Ready, set......
