Smile...31 Days of May Challenge 2011 Is Over!

I feel like smiling today, a big smile from ear-to-ear. The 31 Days of May Challenge is over! Hurray!

Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the challenge; it encouraged me to write each day - something I have never done before. I have tried it, but usually gave up after a few days, always finding a long list of excuses to stop.

So thank you to the the sponsors of this challenge and all Active Rain members who read my posts. There were days when my pen was dry and I had absolutely nothing to say, but you, my friends, kept coming back, encouraging me to go on and keep on writing. I would like to close this month with a quote by Tony Robbins:

I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece.

Elizabeth, I'd say, mark this as a beginning of next 30 days - 40 posts in June Challenge....

Elizabeth - Congratulations on making it through ..... in the past challenges like this were, I believe, designed for two reasons one to get us going the other one not talked about but I am sure it has something to do with AR and the search engines. I believe that AR uses these challenges to poke the search engines for us.

In 31 days 461 people joined the group and posted 9011 posts to the group ..... as of this moment ..... and the 31 days still has a few hours to go.

I have to tell you, that has got to be the most terrifying Sponge Bob I have ever seen! Reminds me of a Dora character at an Easter Event I took my daughter to when she was 3.

Hi Elizabeth...What a relief! This is such a busy time to be doing this. I did one in January or February and it was much easier for me.

Congrulations to you and all the others that made it through.
