A to Z Reflections - 2016

Another Blogging from A to Z Challenge conquered, and I'm happy with my April presentation.

I met some new steady readers and I hope they continue to enjoy my blog. My theme for 2016 was very short poems for the letter of the day and the impending transition to the next day. I wanted a flow from Apropos to Zeal. I meandered from serious to light (and got folks hungry for waffles). All in all, it seemed as if folks enjoyed the journey.

In turn, I browsed the A to Z list the first week and landed on a selection of blogs that I chose to read every day. I had planned to explore more of the list but was time challenged.

Thus - some new found friends and faves include:
www.nilabose.blogspot.com - tremendous limerick, poetry, and mad writing skills. I'm blown away

www.stephie5741.blogspot.com - she explored unsolved mysteries. Good writing.

www.andrea-maybeitsjustme.blogspot.com - a fun look back at movie soundtracks. Oh we must have been music buddies back in the day.

www.viewsfrombenches.blogspot.com - Betty gave us a tour of Arizona. She brought the heat in a cool way

www.rhymetime24.blogspot.com - Pat Hatt's wacky rhyming ass had me laughing every single day

www.lifeafloatarchives.blogspot.com - I sailed away and learned about living aboard a boat

And I have to give a shout out to two steady faves - Al at Penwasser Place and Robyn at Life by Chocolate. Standing ovation and kudos to their humor and presentation. YUGE,  Absolutely YUGE.

Another good blog friend is Sue McPeak at Collectin Texas Gal - an artistic mix of pictures and words

And thanks Alex Cavanaugh for being everywhere in blog world - amazing and generous

As far as the A to Z team - thanks for all of the support. I had minions visiting - they were everywhere. I think it's all well presented and well documented as to how to participate. The artwork letters are gorgeous. The only frustration is going to the list and spending time clicking on links where folks aren't participating or give up. I don't know how (in the world of software) you could auto delete them due to lack of activity (?).

I look into the blog pool and reflect on the talent in this world. I am in AWE of April A to Z.

A to Z Reflection

I have read so many great A to Z Reflections, I decided to do a very short comment. 

The creativity of so many people is astounding. I was remiss in reading lots of new blogs from the linky list. Work interferes with fun, and I'll be honest - I am lazy. When I get home from a day on the computer, I'm done with a keyboard. But I kept up with all of my faves (Annalisa, Robyn, Julie, Delores, Barbara, Al, Alex, and Hillary, and more) and enjoyed the variety of styles, characters, humor, and writing.

I am giving a special shout out to Sue McPeak for her hard work and energy.

Thanks to the whole A-to-Z coordinating team. They unite a huge blog world into an April fun frenzy. With all of the crazy in this world, this effort shows the power of the written word for good.

Special thanks to everyone for visiting Texas with me in Eye on Texas A to Z. We certainly poked into a lot of corners of this vast state.

Y'all come back now.   All the best!!
