Slice of Life - One Last Bookish Post for Now

a collage with some text and an illustration from Peter Rabbit, a page from a dictionary with literary and literature and the definitions of those and a few other related words. There's a page that defines commas. There's a quote from Jhumpa Lahiri that says books let you travel without moving your feet. There are stamps and stickers and most things have something to do with plants, books, or they are polka dots.

We made it to the end of March. It was filled with way more thoughts, feelings, activities, and smiles than I would have anticipated. There were also a few more sad, stressful, or frustrating moments than I would care to mention, but having slicers to interact with made the joy more full and the sadness less so. I've very much enjoyed the challenge of posting some bit of writing every day this month. I'm thankful to the organizers and all of the slicers for making this happen. 

I just finished up my Spring Break and am back to school today. It will be nice to see everyone again and chat about the happenings while we were away from each other. I will have so many bookish things to share. On the final day of break, I made a collage to celebrate some of that bookish energy. I was listening to a book podcast, Book Friends Forever with Grace Lin and Alvina Ling, while making it too. It was doubly bookish.

Thanks for visiting my blog and I wish you a wonderful last day of March and the Slicing Challenge for this year.

A large cross section of an orange is centered and the title Slice of Life is on it. The address for The Two Writing Teachers wordpress blog is also there in small print.
