I'd like to thank every one of you who has visited my blog. Time is precious, especially if you are taking part in the challenge to blog every day, so I am touched that so many of you have taken the time to read my posts and share your thoughts with me.

How can I ever thank you all for your kind comments and good wishes throughout this month and during the past year. I have been so encouraged by all the supportive and caring comments that you have given me.

I was a bit nervous, when I first started this challenge, as it was a step into unknown territory for me. I haven't blogged everyday before and my posts are not usually full of writing. The last time I did any serious writing was for my college course, so I wasn't sure I could do it.

However, I am so glad I did as I have felt a real part of a community. I have enjoyed learning about, and been inspired by, the different lives you lead in all parts of the world. Some of you have difficulties to contend with on a regular basis, but are still incredibly positive and encouraging. I feel I have come to know some of you really well, even though we have never met.

I feel I have made many friends and I look forward to following you in the months and years to come.

I would also like to thank Jenni for a great link up, and for giving me the chance to meet some lovely people that maybe I wouldn't have if it wasn't for this challenge.

Thank you again to each and every one of you for visiting my blog and sticking with me.

Have a great day everyone
