Day 27- Why are you doing this 30 day challenge

I started a blog at the beginning of 2010 in hopes to reconnect/stay connected with loved ones from back home (and I was also fighting insomnia so what better way to kill time at 3am?!). I told people about it at first but then I failed to continue writing on it so I am pretty sure all 4 or 5 people who were actually checking it got tired of the months going by with no word from me. Paul told me that it take 24 days in a row of doing the same thing to form a habit, so a 30 day challenge seems perfect right?

Recently a friend of mine created a blog and I suddenly was inspired to start writing on mine again. I realized how much I enjoyed reading her updates as we don't get to talk much anymore and thought maybe, just maybe she would feel the same about my updates. A few weeks after I started catching up on her life, she started this challenge and it fully inspired me to do it as well. While we may be 3,000 miles apart, at least we could enjoy each others daily topics and maybe the few others who randomly read the blog would as well.

Writing is also something so therapeutic to me and I just don't do it enough. writing in a journal use to be my thing and while I don't think i would use this blog to journal about everything this challenge has defiantly inspired me to continue writing. Now I doubt I will make it back here everyday (my life isn't that exciting) but I defiantly plan to stay more on top of this thing and hope to stay connected with old friends through it!

Thanks Sarah for the inspiration!
