Denyse’s ‘Life This Week’ Monday blog link up turns one this week and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed participating.  Mostly on theme and occasionally off on my own little tangent.  I think I’ve been able to link up for practically every week, give or take.

What I’ve really enjoyed about participating is that I’ve gotten to know so many new blogging friends through their posts.  They’ve collectively broadened my experience of life with the varied focuses they’ve given their blogs.  Retirement, parenting with special needs, decluttering, life positivity and observations of life in parts of the world so different to mine – reading along each week has given interest and variety to my usual blog reading list and I am very grateful for this.

Writing to a theme once a week has also made blogging more interesting for me.  It’s forced me to think beyond the well-worn themes, interests and obsessions of my life.  Some posts have been better than others but the general effect has been a positive one for me in terms of keeping my writing creative and different rather than repetitive.  For the weeks when I’ve not been able to write to theme, reflecting on the week that was has been very cathartic.  I might try writing about the week ahead that I want in future, just to change things up a bit.

So Happy Birthday, #LTW and thank you, Denyse for your friendship and kind comments on my posts.

Looking forward to what the next year holds for #LTW!!
