SOL 31/31 & Celebrate This Week

Today I join my fellow bloggers in "serving up a slice" 

to the March Slice of Life Story Challenge community.

Thanks to Stacey, Betsy, Beth, Kathleen, Deb, Melanie, and Lanny

 for hosting this meeting place each day in March

and for nurturing our writing lives.

Join us each weekend for Celebrate This Week with Ruth Ayres.

When we pause to celebrate, we find the joy.

 

   A week filled with moments to celebrate and remember.

Each week I join Ruth Ayres and a few friends
to celebrate the week. It's a great way to focus
on the positive things that happened in the past week.

Day 31 has arrived!

 I celebrate

the beautiful writing

of my slicer friends,

the delightful connections

we make as we share our lives,

and the growth we experience

from this month of

writing together

for 31 days!

Oodles of gratitude to the folks at TWT 

who bring us together each year for this

challenging, yet fulfilling month of writing.
Looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday!

More celebrations from this week:

No note, but her signature ribbon 
and happy packaging gave her away!

Jack is happiest when he's reading, 
preferably with a book in each hand!

Jack's cousins arrive for Easter weekend
(He's the short one with the red ball.)

with lots of stops to snap pics

Five years ago I was inspired by newtreemom's Easter Hymn, 

and tried my hand at composing a hymn poem.

I share it again (with a few changes in formatting)

 to celebrate the gift of Jesus Christ

this Easter season.
