I finish this slice of life challenge where I started it. I am sitting on my living room sofa, my all time favourite place, where I have written many thousand words, drank hundreds cups of tea, and eaten several slices of cake. This morning is like many other March mornings with a partially cloudy sky, trees swaying in the wind, still waiting for enough warmth to dress in light green. The one lone crow I have seen several times this month has taken its view spot on top of a birch. Occasionally my inner critic used to take the shape of a crow but this month it seemed that he has had other interesting things to do and view and he didn't bother me at all. I enjoyed writing my slices with ease and playfulness.

I knew the challenge would end today and nevertheless seeing the date startles me. This is it? 

There are two things left to do.

First, I thank you from the bottom of the heart for sharing your slices and reading mine. When working alone in the home office, and I had many of these days this month, the human connections, the virtual ones included, are precious. They remind me I exist. Aitäh!

Second, I have written found poems from the comments for several years now, and here is a short one from this year: 

Life surprises us in many ways.
It is hard to settle into sleep 
When thoughts are spinning around in your head,
Dreams can conjure up many emotions,
It's so easy during hard times to not take time to think of delights.
As our lives continue unabated,
We create a tiny space for thoughts and words.
Voice your own questions about what's going on in front of you,
To write down your truth in a totally honest way.
You are the masterpiece! 
Enjoy your cake later today! :)
One more day to celebrate!

Tomorrow is Tuesday. See you tomorrow!
