Quite appropriately, we’re still in the Easter season,
reminding me of the most famous words ever spoken:
It is finished.
Words that make me realize, complaining about the A to Z is inconsequential,
bordering on stupid.
I, Eve Gaal accepted the challenge and my theme was—‘Home’.
You visited. Thank you. I am eternally grateful.
With God’s assistance, I finished the challenge.
Surviving is a gift
of life
Of love-of hope-of promise-of tomorrow.
Survival has to do with our reaction,
Our acceptance,
Our faith.
I survived but I’m not alone. You and your heart are
important to me. It’s not like when you call a business and a machine tells you
that your call is important and you laugh because you think placing you on hold
is a strange way to show you’re important. Here, you’re not on hold. I read all
of your comments and though I may not reply, it doesn't mean I don’t enjoy
reading them. Sometimes computers confuse me and I can’t figure out how to
reply-it’s a technology thing. (I’m working on it.) If I reply on my blog, it
also doesn't mean that you’ll visit the same post again and read it. With an
email connection, I always reply—so please sign up to get my posts delivered to
your email.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the A to Z and thanks for
visiting my blog. Spring is the time of rebirth. It’s a time to be born into
new ways of looking at things and starting over. Perhaps it’s time to finally
hatch some new ideas—spread our wings—take a chance. Sign up for some other
challenge and grow. Who knows, maybe you’ll see me there huffing, puffing and
praying for the finish line.
Looks like we all made it here together! What a ride. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Looks like we made it. Is that a Barry Manilow song?
DeleteAmen!
ReplyDeleteAnd you have a good point about those automated calls and being put on hold.
I am happy to have discovered you through the challenge. I am one of your new followers. Hope you will repeat the challenge next year!

Congrats on finishing, Eve. It's not easy!
ReplyDeleteThis Spring, I'm going to try to take a step back and take it easy. It's been a rough couple of months.

This was a very sweet reflection. Glad you made it. Eat some chocolate to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteHey Eve,
ReplyDeleteI can most certainly vouch that you reply to me via an email. An email highlight of my day :)
Despite my opposition to the never ending alphabet thing, respectful kudos to you and all those who are obsessed with the 26 letter alphabet. Happy reflections, Eve.

Your point is very well made. You are establishing relationships and a few good ones can be a lot better than a whole bunch with whom you never see again. I see the value of A to Z as more of a long term issue than I one month fireworks display.
ReplyDeleteYou made it to the end and that matters. Thanks for your Reflections post.
