A-Z Reflection Post!

Today I want to acknowledge and specially thank all of you for journeying along with me in the last 26 days! Thanks for your kind words of encouragement, affirmation and care.  I am blogging for the second time on A-Z blogging challenge.  

It was definitely empowering experience for me, than last time. Previous year I was so nervous and found difficult to manage and struggled somehow to complete the challenge with great joy. This year, my confidence level has increased. I chose to write short posts and focused more on inspirational quotes for 26 days.

 I collected the quotes in advance alphabetically, and few extra quotes for standby and listened to my heart every day as I kept posting. Where ever I felt to write more and add additional pics or even change the quote, I did and some post I just posted the quote.  The reason for this was to visit as many bloggers as possible within this time frame.

I did make a few mistakes while posting, I pasted the link at the wrong place and within two or three days I understood the process.  I was happy to be part of this community. I liked the way some of our members encouraged everybody to show compassion to certain blogs which was not visited by any one – I was happy to visit them and learn a bit more about their blog. 

This year I felt the administration was well organized putting people in groups.  It was a good experience, as it brought one small group closer to one another.  Some days I could comment on every blog from my group, and at other times, I managed to make a few comment also from the other groups.

One of the biggest challenge I faced from my end, was the frequent power cuts that disturbed a lot while posting, and adding to that was the computer which was troubling me by automatic shut down, sometimes I would be in the middle of commenting, or posting or linking and when this happens I found very irritating and with patience handled this challenge.

I went out to the internet centre and posted whenever there was a problem at my place.  When I read about the other bloggers challenges on the main comment thread, I felt comforted that I was not alone and there are so many who are trying their best to post as on schedule.

I would also like to appreciate the group members for having linked my post in the appropriate place, during my absence – I could enjoy a break for four days and was still be connected because of this group.

I am also very thankful and grateful for my companions who regularly commented, encouraged, agreed, disagreed, inspired and shared their feelings. 

 It’s your gift to me, and I have become better because of you ! 

Thank you for bringing smile on my face with your comments
