For those of you that are new to my blog, every month on the 1st of the month, a group of students from Ali Edwards' One Little Word class at Big Picture Classes, share our monthly assignments on our blogs. It is a fantastic way to get inspired and root on other classmates. It has been a fantastic way to keep me accountable. It is often the only thing that keeps me from flaking on my assignments.

This month's assignment was to write about a battle we were ready to take on or write about something we feel like celebrating and decide how we should celebrate. I chose CELEBRATING!
I left the last section blank because I have not been thinking about my word at all this past month. It might be a good challenge for me in October to bring it closer to the forefront in my mind.
Thanks for stopping by and joining in on the blog hop! Next on the list is Kimberlee.

Thanks! That was taken on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Southern Calif. The weather is like the Mediterranean, thus the plants, etc are similar.
