Friday Feature: My Favorite Thing I Read this Week and Why

We are excited to start the Ultimate Blog Challenge today! 31 posts in July. We will continue our two theme days: Tub-Full Tuesdays and Friday Feature. Fridays feature our favorite thing we read this week and why. For those of you new to the blog, my mom and I both post on this blog as it follows our mother-daughter journey through life and writing.

Last week we visited some out of town friends at the Air & Space Museum in Washington, DC. As I downloaded the pictures yesterday, I came across my favorite read this week: a quote I saw in the museum.

This quote was printed on the wall, and I took a picture. I liked the words and wanted to ponder them later at home, not while herding six kids under 11 through the museum. Of course I forgot about the quote until I saw the pictures.

I don't like to say anything is impossible. I'm not a quitter. That's not to say I don't shy away from overwhelming tasks. Sometimes I do. I need to work on that. But I must say my dream of writing a book became a hope and then a reality. Now we are embarking on the sequel.

When my first kid was born, I was excited and slightly apprehensive of the unknown (especially labor). With the second child, I had so much more anxiety because I KNEW how hard labor and newborns were. I also had a sense of calm because I knew how to be a mother (or thought I did!). A second novel feels like baby #2. I know how much work is involved this time, but I've learned a lot. The hardest part is pulling the trigger!

I look forward to meeting new blogger friends through this challenge! As an incentive to come by and comment, we will give away a special prize to the person who comments most during the month of July.

What is the impossible dream you hope will be a reality soon?
