Just one last little update before the A-2-Z Challenge begins April 1st.
Oh my!
I have been busy typing and typing, and editing, and typing, and reviewing, and editing and typing some more. I think I have reach the point I could recite some of these posts from memory. I might have become a bit obsessive! I have written all but 2 posts. I am still struggling with the letter V, and I have my topic for W, but haven't written it yet.
I got past some really hard letters like U, X and Z! I feel pretty cocky about that!! 😂. Okay - Z was a bit of a stretch (and so was X) - tying it in with my theme, but I think it works, and my Z is actually a cute way to end the whole event. I won't share what I did. You will have to check in on the last day in April to find out.
One thing I discovered ... writing on a single topic or theme, like this challenge is designed for - it does help you crystalize some of your thoughts. Since my theme is Aging and Retirement - I thought this would be a slam dunk. No problem. Whip those little buggers out with no problem.
Well - I discovered differently.
Much of what I had to say was based on my experiences caring for my mom through her aging and eventual death. I haven't thought about all of that since 2014. It stirred up a bunch of old memories. Many of them were good memories but there were a few sad ones as well. My (strong) opinions about the elderly were formed during that 8 year period. And my attitudes about certain topics will come across maybe a bit strong maybe.
So ... yes ...
I will probably come across like an opinionated old person with an attitude!!
Hahaha!
Oh well. So be it. It is who I am now.
No escaping it!
Just 2 more posts to 'launch' and I am done until May 1st!!
Celebration Time!!!

I admire you writing that many posts ahead of time. Looking forward to reading them.
Challenges like this are certainly challenging! I'm constantly struggling with words. I want them to be accurate, concise, and make sense! But that's a good mental exercise, I think.
Looking forward to all the posts! I
Well, shoot. I was hoping your fingers were tired from spinning and knitting! Don't get me wrong; I so look forward to your blog posts, but all that writing and editing doesn't sound quite as fun as playing with yarn. ;-)
Yes, it was challenging. But I do love writing. Of course, (Michelle) I do love knitting more!! But once committed to something, I was hell-bent to complete it. What I forgot was that April wasn't the busy month - it was March that was busy.
I finally got V -done this morning. A perfect V word just popped into my head. I can't believe that I almost forgot to include the most important element of aging ...
Now onto W. I have to topic already - just need to write it.
The finish line. - for me - is within sight!!!!
April will be relaxing for you!
At least you're getting then all written ahead of time but sure sounds like a lot of work.
I’m looking forward to gleaning wisdom from your posts! I just signed up for the challenge but only have a couple posts written so far! It will be a challenge for sure!
You are doing fantastically, you will love the A-Z challenge, can't wait to see all your hard work!
My month could be like a game of survivor!

Well done! As I write this on the first day of the challenge I have just over half of the posts pre-scheduled. My intention was to have them all done but it just hasn't happened. I will be winging it by the end but hopefully will get there!
