To see posted A to Z movies:

Is That the Finish Line?!

I started the 2012 April A to Z Challenge ready for anything.








                                                           



Geared myself for the long haul.

I questioned my resolve and by the second week, searched for liquid fortitude.

Panic set in.








But as Lone Watie said in The Outlaw Josey Wales, I continued to 'endeavor to persevere'.

No matter the consequences.












Congrats to all participants. Welcome to my new followers. A big Smooch to my pre-April 1st blogger buddies.


And Thank You to our hosts. Your enthusiasm kept me going. 


After Monday's post, I think we deserve a little down-time.

       I know I do.
