is for ippy and ephyr
The Way I See It
Well, here we are at Z the last letter of the alphabet and the end of this year’s A to Z Challenge. For me, the challenge started out as it always does all zippy and full of energy. It’s fun to find a theme and then to figure out what to write within that theme. Because I tend to get distracted and off theme, I make a point to choose a rather loose open theme so I can play with it.
Once we get past the half way mark my energy sometimes loses some of its zip. But I plunder and plod on with good and bad days. Mostly good days. Then the last week is upon us and my zippy energy really loses its zingy zestfulness and my energy becomes more of a zephyr breeze that wafts and flutters like soft sighs.
When March comes along next year I will be all zappy zingy zippy again and ready for April and another A to Z Challenge. Until then I will enjoy the whiffs of air that faintly breeze by my computer like a lovely zephyr.
The way I see it…A challenge of any kind is good
but the best have a definite beginning and end.

Nice job wrapping up still another Challenge. Thank you participating in the 2017 A to Z. You’ve got so many behind you now that it wouldn’t be the same without your participation.

Tossing It Out
Thanks, Arlee. Lord willin’ and if the creek if don’t rise I will be part of the challenge again next year!
You zapped it out of the park!
🙂
You did it with style and heart. Congratulations, my dear friend. HUGS!
Thanks, Annie. It was fun but I am glad to get back into my regular routine.
Congrats, Patricia. Your posts were most enjoyable.
Thank you. I enjoyed the challenge and now I am ready to get back into my nice comfortable routine.
Congratulations! I enjoyed your thoughts on making it from A to Z! And you are so right about the best challenges having a definite beginning and end! Your A to Z Challenge was sure food for thought. I laughed, I was sometimes teary, and I often felt I am not alone in many ways! I learned so much here… 🙂
Thank you! I am happy you liked my challenge efforts and that you feel at home here. Except for the reflection post next week the A-Z thing is done and I am looking forward to getting back to my comfortable routine. 🙂
Congratulations! Your posts were totally enjoyable and interesting, it was fun to check in here to see what you’d chosen for a topic! I like challenges too, and you are right about having a defined beginning and end. Hitting publish on that final z-post is always such a great feeling of both accomplishment and relief! I’ll be back next year too, maybe with another story, maybe something different. But maybe first I’d better see about catching up with housework, since I can no longer use the A to Z Challenge as an excuse! :-))
Thanks, Josie. Now that the A-Z challenge is over my new challenge is to catch up with my cyber-friends. It may take awhile.
Well done! You made it!
Yep, I made it! This was my seventh year!
