Thanks, Anjuli. It was such a great experience, and I did learn a lot. It was a bit difficult to not blog this weekend, but thankfully tomorrow starts a new week of posts! And I'm glad to have found your blog, too! It's cool to read about your adventures.

You really have put things into a 'nutshell' here! What a wonderful post, which I believe mirrors many of the other blogathonner's thoughts and feelings.

I'm so glad I participated- I would have never found YOUR blog if I hadn't!!

Thanks for the good words, Michelle. I confess I&#...

Thanks for the good words, Michelle. I confess I'm looking for more opportunities to do similar things. I'm even (gulp) considering posting every day for a year.

Beautifully put Joan. I can't kick the habit either, and frankly, now that I'm back in the groove I don't want to. I love your thoughts about being spontaneous.

Here, here, Jennifer! I'm almost afraid to stop, I've got to say. I like the momentum. Although, I could use a nap and the house is a wee bit untidy...

I'm not sure yet about my longevity, but so far we're 2 days post-Blogathon, and I've written two blog posts. It IS addicting, isn't it? :)

Thanks, Jen! I should have clarified that it's...

Thanks, Jen! I should have clarified that it's not only bring the camera, but using it. Sometimes there's a bit of a choice about when to do that, but that's another story, too. :)

Joan, these are all excellent points! I love the ...

Joan, these are all excellent points! I love the bit about remembering to bring your camera and charge your battery because I still can't remember to do either of these things. :) Also, I'm impressed you didn't take a day off when the Blogathon ended. Keep going strong!

Thanks, Kathy! The urge is irresistible now, which I think is not a bad thing. The only part that is sometimes awkward is that I can't get to my computer when I want. Hence, the notebooks. :)

I do feel quite lucky to be able to do this here. Family and friends can follow, and I have a great excuse to write about three things I really love - food, farming, and travel!

Joan,

This is a great post and I can really relate. I too, took to carrying a camera more and found that a lot of the ideas that I might have put off to write about later actually got done when I was forced to do a daily post. It is sort of addictive. I planned to take today off, but found myself wanting to post by the end of the day. Had I been blogging when I lived in China form 2002 to 2005, I can't imagine how much better recorded my experience would have been. How lucky you are to be doing this in Japan!
