    I learned a lot from the challenge.  Today (Thursday) I also learned that I couldn't post yesterday's achievements!  But still I'm very glad to have participated.  Thank you.

    I guess I was too preoccupied this morning and afternoon to write my letters/emails.  I need to find a back-up plan for when I get otherwise occupied.  I'll do better tomorrow!!

    Well,  I'm so attentive to turning off the computer, that I did it before I put in my daily results!!!  Glad I know how to go back and fill in the skipped day!!

    A very wet day, but I was able to achieve and complete my challenges.

    I really had to concentrate to achieve my challenges, but I did them.   I want to continue with them after the challenge is over; but I have to figure out a way that will keep me dedicated and not waffle out of them/ the 20 minute gratitude/writing is the biggie.

    Just couldn't make the 20 minute challenge!!  Feel badly about that.

    Totally forgot to turn off my electronics last night!!  But I did the other two challenges - and am growing because of it. I even read a book review in The Atlantic about recent books on Henry David Thoreau which was quite relevant to my journaling!!

    I almost forgot that I didn't sign on last night even though I met my challenges.   Thank you dashboard.

    Although I have had my moments of complaining about 'having' to meet my challenges, the truth is that I'm so glad I signed up to participate again.   I'm getting a lot out of my daily Nature journaling - so much more than I expected!!

    The challenges were complicated by spending most of Friday with my grandsons.  And, then having my computer and TV go 'out' I thought because of my turning off the surge protector.  Turns out, it was the company making some repairs that affected all electronics I'm guessing in the neighborhood.  Yikes.  Scary to realize how dependent I've become on them.
