I sang The End” by the Beatles every time I thought about what I wanted to write today. “The End” was the last song on the last album the Beatles ever recorded together.

This is the last time this exact group of writers will gather together to share slice of life stories. Tomorrow we’ll go back to our weekly Tuesday Challenge. The group probably will be smaller. And next March, when we host the 8th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge, it is my hope we’ll add new members to our tribe of writers. Therefore, this is our last hurrah together.

I’ve loved sharing the past month with you. Thank you for being part of this community. To that end, thank you for trusting the members of this writing community with your stories. Also, thanks for being a supportive audience for each other. I hope you’ll be back on Tuesdays year-round to continue the writing habit you’ve created this month by sharing a slice of your life with the rest of the Slicer Community.

Take a listen to “The End” while you read through the rest of this post:

BE INSPIRED:

Once again, I’m sharing slices from two people today both of which deal with frustrating situations.

Katy Collins (@misscollins606) crafted “This Moment Brought to You Because of Winn Dixie” after a vacation mishap with one of those automated self-checkout machines.
Carol Wilcox (@carwilc) wrote “More parenting from afar. A dog?!!!???” after having an aggravating phone call with her college-age son where they just couldn’t see eye-to-eye on a situation.
