I think we should always remember that to every ending there's a new beginning, becuase when something ends it's scary and dopressing, to a point we have a hard time seeing the new beginning. But there is always one and sometimes the new thing is even better than the old one. <br /><br />It was a good challenge for me, I really enjoyed it. <br />I will congratulate with you for finishinf it... though it sounds a bit odd, because I had no doubt you would ;-) <br /><br />I'll see you on the Reflection Post ;-)JazzFeathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08650512457155395633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-5620259779977264582017-05-04T12:46:26.003-07:002017-05-04T12:46:26.003-07:00Zero hour to me is both beginning and ending.

In that case, it is the ending of the project but the beginning for the users. <br /><br />Emily | <a href="https://emilbloo.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">My Life In Ecuador</a>Emily in Ecuadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046387339831440902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-6692492034860776572017-05-03T07:03:07.393-07:002017-05-03T07:03:07.393-07:00I think of zero hour as a roundabout - you can jum...I think of zero hour as a roundabout - you can jump off in any direction - ending or beginning.

I think you should post as often as you want. We'll be happy seeing you do what makes you happy. The A2Z ride has been a fun one to share with you, so a big congrats to you. I had no doubt that you would zip right to the finish.
