This post concludes the only marathon I have ever participated in. I call it my marathon of the mind. What a challenge it has been. What a joy it has been. I'm glad God drew me to participate in the 31 Days series when I first saw Melissa, over at The Inspired Room, tweet about it. It was one of those tickling, nagging, refusing to go away kind of issues (See Day 26). I can hardly believe I really did it.
A huge thank you is due my sweet, patient family who did more than tolerate my constant droning about this blog post and that blog post. They cheered me on every step of the way. And Lou, your love and support enable me to fly. Much love.
I thought it would be helpful to end with the list. Now, at least, I have a place to come back to when I need to remind myself of some of the truths that are helping me navigate this adventure called life.
Here's also the link to the all the participants in the 31 Days series. Now that I'm done, I plan on meandering through those buttons to get some fresh inspiration.
Many thanks also, to you who visit my blog. My prayer is that you find encouragement here - to live life, to love God and your family and your friends. You certainly encourage me with your kind comments - here on the blog, and in person. So, until the next blog post, which I can guarantee won't be on Tuesday, many blessings!
