I'm linking up to Mama Kat's weekly writing prompts. This week's choice is:
This year in blog posts…choose a favorite post from each month of 2011 and share
January: New Year's Resolutions Looking back at my goals for 2011 kind of makes me laugh. It reminds me of the saying, "People plan, and God laughs" or however that goes. This year was DEFINITELY not what I was expecting!
February: Insecurity In February I started seriously thinking about my first teaching job. Apparently that caused a little bit of stress in my mind. If only I had known...
March: Card Shower Thank You I have been on the sending side of MANY card showers. Being a receiver, though, really showed me how much of a difference such a seemly tiny act makes
April: My Homeless Angel This is one of my all-time favorite blog posts
May: Losing It- A Short Story I really enjoyed sharing my short story writing during the months I spent trying to recover from complications to shingles. What an awesome outlet! If you are interested in more short stories by me, there is a tab at the top of my blog home page.
June: Home- A Short Story This is another from my short story collection. It is one of my favorites that I've ever written.
July: When It Rains It Pours July was a CRAZY month of ups and downs. Thank goodness it was mostly ups!
August: 30 Day Music Challenge I really enjoy these challenges that give me something to focus on writing. This one talks about the music played at my wedding.
September: Bye Bye Netflix I miss the days when Netflix was all I could ever ask for. I'm sad they are definitely not offering what works for our family anymore.
October: Why I Love My House We moved into a home we used to live in (long story), and I was definitely walking down memory lane on this day.
November: My Holiday Solution I had a hard time with Christmas this year. I was SO proud of my solution that helped me deal with that!
December: Happy, Healthy Hearts I can't WAIT to start working with the girls who will be joining my new club at school.
Wow, it was really tough to pick my favorites some months. It's a good thing this prompt didn't ask me to narrow this down to my favorite post of the year. I would really have been in trouble! I hope you enjoy my picks. I'd love to read a few of your favorite posts, either your own if you are a blogger, or one of mine if you are not a blogger. Just leave a link in your comments!

Good to meet you, Karen. I'm visiting from Mama Kat's. I have to say the your post, My Homeless Angel, really touched me. Great post!
Thanks Jerralea. Nice to meet you, too! I'm heading over to visit your blog now.
That was my favourite post too - the Homeless Angel one. I loved this, what an amazing gift you and your family gave.
and the books as well, I believe a book heals many ills.
Hugs
I can't tell you how many times books made a difference in my life. When I was in high school I would purposely get grounded so I could stay in my room and read. That way I didn't have to face the parts of life that were tough on a teenager.
