Welcome to the ninth day of the 12thย Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge!
ANNOUNCEMENTS
The first commenting challenge of the month opens today! Be sure to read Lanny’s post inviting you to join.
Time Change
On Sunday, March 10th, we will switch from Eastern Standard Time (EST) to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) beginning at 2:00 a.m. This means there will be one less hour to slice (23 hours instead of 24) for all Slicers tomorrow only. Of course, the time change (EDT) will remain for the rest of the challenge so everyone โ regardless of where they live in the world โ will have the same 24 hours to write, share, and give. Please plan accordingly and leave your comment prior to 11:59 EDT from Sunday through the remainder of the month challenge!ย
Here are two links that may help you if you are someone who lives in a time zone other than the Eastern Time Zone.
Each of these tools should assist you if you are having difficulty determining your personal 24 Hour Slicing Window based on your location. As I mentioned yesterday, there will only be 23 hours to slice today, for all slicers, because of Daylight Saving Time.
BE INSPIRED
Some of my favorite slices over the years have come from a triggered memory. Joyous Link blogs at Joyous Thoughts and wrote a slice this month titled, Inspired By Lunch with a Friend prompting her to write about wonderful memories.ย

I feel the need to include a content warning here. This is a big community, and it seems unlikely that we all share the same politics. The post is about pronouns, but there is also some bonus anti-45 snark at the end. This isn’t an apology for what I wrote, just fair warning.
