Slice of Life Post for March 31, 2025, (9:00 -9:31 p.m.) by Barb Edler

“Are you awake?”

“I am now.”

So goes the conversation between my husband and I as we try to view shows on our reclining couch. Last night we started to watch Severance. Ok, we don’t get the hype about this show, but we snoozed through two episodes so maybe we’re missing something.

Writing throughout this month has not been a snooze fest. Thank you to everyone who read a slice or two and commented on my posts. A super big shout out to my invaluable friends Glenda Funk, Kim Johnson, and Denise Krebs for always being there to support my blogging efforts. Kim came up with the idea about focusing on a slice of time for each post and without her encouragement, I know I would not have been up to this month’s challenge. Your blogging skills are amazing. I learn something new every time I read your posts.

A huge and heartfelt thank you to all the amazing writers in this community who have inspired me and proved to me that blogging can be incredibly moving and impactful. I appreciated reading about your passions, the jobs you are managing, the grandchildren and children you love and care for, to the losses you are navigating, the crafts and pets you adore, the poetry you craft, the teaching jobs you manage, and for revealing and sharing those precious moments of your lives to a public audience. I bow down to your writing prowess!

Finally, I cannot thank the phenomenal leaders of TWT enough. Thank you, Melanie, Betsy, Jenna, Lainie, Leigh, and Sarah for all you do to make this community a wonderful place to share our hearts and our stories.

My triolet today is in honor of all the writers at TWT.
