There’s plenty of advice out there on how to say no. You’re too busy, too stressed, not interested, don’t care, so you should just do it–just say no.
But my advice is this: sometimes, you just have to say yes. Just agree to something without thinking about it, or at least just think about only the positives. Don’t consider how sorry you’re going to be, how the act of committing to something you’re really into and enjoy mightily at the moment might backfire and have you completely sick and tired of it all when the commitment ends. Nope, don’t think; just click yes.
And that is what I did. I stumbled upon this—NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month)—and pledged to post something every day for the entire month of October. I didn’t think about it for the day, didn’t sleep on it, didn’t really think at all, that is, not until now, until I started to write this, just to make sure I’d have something ready for day one on October 1st.
Sounds fun, doesn’t it, posting something every single day for 31 days straight? Yah, I’ll get back to you on that on the 31st.
Readers, I thank you in advance for putting up with me. I really do appreciate you.

Thanks for commenting on my blog! And yes, I did find it hard to publish that last post because I’m always worried about being completely out there, but I feel that there’s no point in blogging if I’m not honest and I’m looking forward to hearing what other people think.

Putting it all out there makes for a good read. Makes it easy to connect to you as a reader. Thanks for sharing your story.

That’s what I did too for the first time of my life I didn’t ask hubby or friends if I should do it I just enrolled and never gave it a second thought. It’s nice to challenge ourselves sometimes 🙂

We’ll see. I’m starting off okay, but 31 days is a lot of days and life gets crazy. Thanks for your comment!
