What Else Have I Learned?
Last year, on the last day of November, I felt relieved. I felt exhausted. I felt free. I also felt educated. I learned some things about myself after having blogged once each day during the month of November. This year is no different. Here's what I have learned this year...
1. NoBloPoMo is no mo'! (For this year anyway!)
2. I posted 136 pictures this year. Three more than last year.
3. I got more comments this year.
4. Two holidays and one birthday happened.
5. There is a whole other universe out there, called the Blogosphere. I have found many interesting (and disturbing) sites out there. Some I will visit more often than others.
6. I put a lot of pressure on myself and others to post at least once a day. But pressure is it, that's all. Nothing was postponed, delayed or otherwise put off for me to post.
I met some interesting people along the way, via the Internet Superhighway. Amanda, Herb Urban, The Ministry Of Silly Blogs, and helping to keep us all motivated, the good folks over at NaBloPoMo.
I also found something called blogathon. This is an online effort where you raise money for your favorite donation by getting a sponsor, or sponsors, and then you stay awake for 24 hours and blog every thirty minutes! (It is both scary and intriguing at the same time.) I'll let you know if I am going to take the plunge!
There are amazing writers out there, each with funny, scary, heartbreaking and intelligent stories to tell. This is going to sound corny, but I am honored to be a part of such a wonderful group. (Even though I sometimes take forever to post something!)
In that light, I hope the last 30 days will tide you over, because I am taking a break. Not for too long though, I hope, so stay tuned!
It's been fun, and an experience I shall carry with me until next November, and the next NoBloPomo!
However, if I didn't have you looking in, I wouldn't have a blog in the first place, so thanks for checking in, and keep it up! You are my strength!
See you in December!

Congrats on making it through. Any interesting in joining the Holidalies party? It is the December version of NaBloPoMo. I advise everyone to avoid another month of self imposed torture. But I am a masochist myself.
