Yes, I know two blog posts in one day is a tad excessive — although in my own defense, I actually wrote most of my earlier post yesterday.

Anyway, this is just to let you know that during the month of December I will be taking part in Gwen Bell’s Best of 2009 blog challenge.  Each day there are prompts to reflect back on some of the best parts of the past year via photos, snippets or crazy long essays — whatever suits your mood.  My favorite part of this challenge is that you are free to only choose the prompts that really inspire you (which is great, since I’d already be behind otherwise!).

Here are a few that I think could be fun:

December 4 Book. What book – fiction or non – touched you? Where were you when you read it? Have you bought and given away multiple copies?

December 17 Word or phrase. A word that encapsulates your year. “2009 was _____.”

December 21 Project. What did you start this year that you’re proud of?

December 29 Laugh. What was your biggest belly laugh of the year?

You get the picture.  Sounds like a great way to do a little reflecting, doesn’t it?  If you’re interested in checking out the prompts for the rest of the month, or finding out how to join in, click here.
