Today is January 9th and it's hard to believe that we've been blogging for almost one week. I decided to list 9 things that I've learned in this process so far:
1. I take the time to slow down and reflect on one little thing in my day. I often reflect on many things in my life, but this blog encourages me to do this differently and it feels good.
2. I know a lot about my best friend, Amanda, but I enjoy learning more about the small moments in her life. It's also different when it's written!
3. It allows me to slow down in life (overall) and be grateful. This was one of our motives for the blog and I'm glad it's working.
4. As a teacher of reading and writing, it pushes me to enjoy the craft of writing more.
5. It can be hard to find something to take a picture of and then write about. That sounds silly, I know! I want the post to truly capture the feelings, emotions, and events that I experienced in that day.
6. I feel the adrenaline in my blood when I notice the amount of people reading our posts. It's so awesome and exciting!
7. I am inspired by the blogging world more and more! I want to keep going! I want to try out new things to add to our blog!
8. I enjoy writing each night. I haven't done this in years. Write. every. single. night. It's challenging, but so worth it.
9. I used to journal on paper. I've written blogs before on a laptop. Ever since I started this, I've written on my iPhone and I LOVE IT! It's totally working for me. Normally I'm cuddled up on the couch with a blanket when I do this. That's the picture tied to this post. :-)
I'm looking forward to reflecting on this process again in another week ...or month?! We'll see! ;)
