I guess I’m supposed to have some kind of graphic here but I haven’t downloaded it and after the weekend I had, I am not going to bother. I’m just going to get this up so I can go about my business.
For April, I will be joining the A to Z Blogging Challenge during which Mondays thru Saturdays will have a post beginning with a specified letter of the alphabet. Some people pick a theme. So about two months ago, when I signed up for the challenge, I began to think about a Road Trip theme. I came up with the title and subject for each post, except the letter X. However, the road trips I was thinking of were numerous and involved different people and went off to different places, including repeat destinations. I decided it would be too confusing because the A story might be about a trip that comes after the letter J and the Z story might be about a trip that comes after the letter C. It would be too confusing.
So I decided to go with my original idea, which I haven’t told you about yet. Once upon a time, when I first started this blog, I wrote a lot of short memoir pieces. I really enjoyed writing those and I think my readers enjoyed reading them. So for April, each day of the month, except Sundays, I will be blogging my way from the letter A to the letter Z via short memoir pieces.
I normally don’t write my posts ahead of time but because of some recent health issues, I think I’m going to try to write at least two or three ahead, just in case I get to a day when I just can’t write.
I’m looking forward to getting back to the roots of this blog!
You got us worried, Corina… mentioning health issues and not being able to write. Wishing you great health, and all the strength you need… and wonderful memories from A to Z!

Good—but if it doesn’t go away completely in a day or two, consider seeing a doctor? Addressing it now rather than when it’s acute might save you an expensive ER visit, esp. if it is in fact pancreatitis or something like it.

I hope it’s not pancreatitis! I don’t think the mixed up road trip would have been too confusing, but looking forward to see what your a-z memoirs will be.

Some of next month’s memoir pieces will definitely include some road trip stories so you won’t miss out on all of them.

Thank you, Tric. The three things I have the biggest problems with are taking care of myself, saying “no”, and asking for help when I need it. I just never learned to do those things. 🙂

Hello,
Your original theme would have been fine, nothing confusing…but the memoir theme is way intriguing too. Wishing you good health and a great time blogging in April.
