This was my third year participating in the annual A-to-Z Challenge. Once again, (big sigh) I did not pre-write any of my posts. I did work with a theme this year and tried to stick with it throughout the challenge.

My favorite part of the challenge is meeting new bloggers and developing friendships. It makes all the craziness so worth my time.

On the down side, I wish I could have read and visited everyone who participated. That would simply be impossible. I did visit and comment on 225 blogs.

April is a tough month for my family. It holds the anniversary of my brothers’ murder and on the same date the anniversary of my stepsons’ death from suicide. The Challenge keeps my mind busy and reminds me that I am not alone.

Everybody truly does have a story.

For next year I already have a theme and I am definitely going to pre-write at least a few posts!

Thank you to each and everyone of you for brightening my month with your visits and comments xxxooo
