A-Z Challenge April 2012

The A-Z challenge takes place this April, basically it's all about blogging every day, well Mon to Fri which is 26 times during the course of the month.


There is however a theme, hence the A-Z. Each day has to start with a letter of the alphabet spread out over the month.


As you may well expect, my theme will be caravan/camping related, but I must admit I'm struggling with a few of the letters. So may have to use artistic licence when the time comes and just go off on a tangent! No change there then!


The idea was first used to inspire writers and to get them thinking about writing when their minds were blank. Thankfully I do not suffer from that. My head is always swimming with thoughts, just that sometimes they need armbands to keep them near the surface.


Without these armbands you can sink rather rapidly to unknown depths as I recently found out, and my God is it dark down there!


I think that everyone at some point suffers from a form of depression, it's how we cope with it is the key to survival.


One thing that helped me was having something to focus on, a succession of goals and achievements to get me to where I wanted to be. Of course this is on going, but I firmly believe that by having that focus I swam to the surface again.


So maybe this A-Z could help you? Give you a focus of having to do something positive.


How can a blog be positive I hear you ask? Well, from a personal point of view, we have had a number of people tell us here that we have inspired them to change their lives. Well, if that isn't a positive thing then I don't know what is!


No matter what you write about, some one, some where will read it. I myself read a multitude of different blogs, on subjects I have no knowledge of. Its amazing what you can learn from real people writing about real things!
