Challenge 2007-4 - Monday March 26, 2007

MiLadies;

Welcome to another challenge from your Kween_of_the_Queens blog ring!

This comes on the heels of a challenge that was quite difficult but very satisfying!  Also, one of our own queens has made this suggestion (which I think is brilliant!)  Thank you MySeniorMoments!  Here is the original suggestion she made:

"If you had chosen a different path in life, how do you think your life would have been different? ( Marrying someone else, not marrying, work choice, number of children or no children.) "

I think this fits in perfectly with the last challenge!  Are you up for it?

Remember to COMMENT ON AS MANY ENTRIES AS POSSIBLE!

I'll call this one

Alternate Paths

I will begin linking as soon as you get your entry up (this is a different way from the past as so many of you have been posting early).  This will last through the end of the month. . .so you have plenty of time. . .but remember, it starts just as soon as I get the first entry!

If you feel that you can rise to this challenge, I certainly look forward to reading them!

Come back here to let me know when to link you!

Kween

I applaud MySeniorMoments for an excellent suggestion! I'm glad you're linking this way for this challenge too, as it gives me time and *blushes* I WON'T be late!!! :-)

Mine is done, my Kween. Right here! I hope it meets with your approval!

I like this one... I will definitely get right on it, espcially since I can do it while I'm thinking about it and not have to post 2 weeks from now (I forget)
Posted 3/17/2007 at 11:22 AM by bubblysox

ryc: I wouldn't say "I object" but I do know what you mean! I just sometimes don't like to get hung up on the past. For a long time in my early adult life, I dwelled on the what if and I know how unhealthy that can be!

Unfortunately this is a crazy busy time of year for me and I just haven't had the Xanga time I usually do. I'm still around though and hope to be available for the next one.  Have a good day.

Hey, got mine done. Can you link up for me. Honest I tried! Can I cut and paste somehow? loveya, emlee
Posted 3/19/2007 at 4:29 PM by emlee57
I put mine up - first effort for this blogring.  Got here via prettynosyarentu.

Kueen, always up for interpretation, my post too is about paths.  The one you have taken the one you could take one maybe you should take.  It's written as a retrospective with pictures and sketches since I am an artist.

Please stop by.

I'll try and comment others, but I'm not sure i'm ready to write an entry yet.
Posted 3/20/2007 at 4:4 PM by momofjenmatt

I have posted...

Last year when I thought of this challenge...I was feeling so optimistic about my life because I was retiring soon.  I was so sure of all the great things I was going to do. This year, nine months later, I am in a rut.  I just can't seem to get myself motivated. I can't seem to get out of the house.  I guess I don't feel I "deserve" such a nice life. I know how hard I have worked and I know, deep down, I do deserve it but I feel like something is missing....maybe that something is just .....me?

Maybe a new writing challenge....DO YOU DESERVE THE LIFE YOU HAVE?

Posted 3/19/2007 at 1:35 PM by myseniormoments
I did it, not all that well, but it is up!
Posted 3/20/2007 at 4:34 PM by LIF1955

Well Queen, I've kinda dropped the ball in the sense that I haven't written anything for this blogring yet!  I have to feel the subject on my heart, and lately it seems that other topics have come from fingers to keyboard instead.  I enjoy checking out others' entries, and I will try to write one soon!  But I am writing other things, and in advance, I thank you for your patience with me.

Writing challenge 2007-3 - Saturday March 10, 2007

MiLadies:

Blessings to you all and a very happy March!

As I approach my 5th decade of life later this year, I stumbled upon a good question today.

HAVE YOU LIVED THE LIFE YOU WANTED TO LIVE?

Tell us about what you feel that you have accomplished.  What dreams did you have as a child that you've fulfilled?   If not, what more do you want to accomplish and what is it you need in order to accomplish it?  When you are aged and a young person asks you this question, what do you hope your response will be?

If you are very young (teens, twenties, early thirties), what accomplishments are you working towards or what dreams do you hope to accomplish before your 40's?

TIME FRAME:  Today is March 1st.  You have until March 12th to finish this challenge.  We will post for 2 days. . .MONDAY MARCH 12TH AND TUESDAY MARCH 13TH.

This is a more serious question than many I have posed before, so really think about this one and give us a sincere response.

Come back here to let me know that you have posted  or leave a link.

Read as many as you are able to.

Put on your thinking caps MiLadies

Adieu'~Kween

Wow, that is a serious question, and a deep one!  Should be interesting...
Posted 3/2/2007 at 4:24 AM by endlesssummer128

Excellent questions, very deep and really makes one look within. Love these types of questions as they help each of us learn more about ourselves. :) I so am looking forward to reading others responses and so looking forward to what the heck mine will be LOL xoxo Tynee

P.S. Love your site, just love it :)

Posted 3/2/2007 at 4:40 AM by TyneeGrannyB
hmmmm, I'll be thinking on this one.  This will be interesting.
Posted 3/2/2007 at 10:58 AM by vjgunkel59
wow... serious post... this calls for some serious self-reflecting. I wonder how many people will actually do it... other than me, of course  :)
Posted 3/2/2007 at 2:3 PM by madamzephyrus
I can do this one....very thought provoking.....and thanks for making the deadline several days away....I need TIME right now, with hubby recovering and all....so, looks like you gave me some! Thanks!
Posted 3/2/2007 at 4:4 PM by AroundJoy
This will call for some real soul searching and honesty....hope I can live up to the required contemplations.
Posted 3/2/2007 at 2:44 PM by myseniormoments
