Snowflake Day 15: Your Snowflake Experience

[smallhobbit]

I had wondered whether to comment, since this year I had hardly participated, incorporting Day 4 into my own goal update post, and then combining Days 8 and 9.  And I am very grateful for those who responded with links to their national Girl Guide/Girl Scout websites.

But then I looked back at last year, to discover I'd only written about two of the days then as well, although I have a feeling I may have simply made a reply on the original Snowflake post on a couple of days.

This was my fourth year of Snowflake, and looking back I found at the end of my first year I'd written it was an interesting challenge, but one I wasn't sure I'd do again.  I suspect this was a reasonable reflection.  The following year I also participated in two-thirds of the posts, having made the conscious decision to only do the posts which seemed relevant.  I also think that temperamentally I am better suited to the intense two weeks (plus a day) rather than a whole month.

Looking back I think that while I enjoy reading the responses of my flist, I came to the right conclusion at the end of the first year, it's a good challenge, but not one for me.

The main thing I love about this challenge is the interesting new people I get to meet through it. :D

That's true - although I sometimes feel as if I have enough people on my list to keep up with anyway - but there's always space for another.

I concur with your sentiments, that it is interesting, but not all the posts are entirely relevant. However, I'm glad you have taken part as your responses are always fun to read and thoughtfully done.

As for myself, I do like the concept of the challenge, but the last couple of years have been so busy I cannot keep up.

Maybe next year I can give the snowflake_challenge a real attempt - I'll be curious whether my final decision is similar to yours about continuing on with it.

Thank you - I'm glad you've enjoyed my answers.

I think it's a challenge which is worth doing once, and then how it goes afterwards is up to the participant; some really like it, for some it's more meh.

I have enjoyed reading your responses, but there can be too many things to get stuck into them all:-)

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. That's true especially when there are other things I'm doing.

Not for me, either, though I love reading the responses by those of my f'list who grab the challenge and run with it.

[smallhobbit]

I definitely enjoy others' responses. All I need to do is remember for next year!
