We Made It! 52/52.#LifeThisWeek 2018.134.
Thank you all.
Yes, we made it. Each Monday to come here and read, join in with a blog post link up and comment.
- How was the road you travelled to ….get here, end of 2018?
Some of my blogging friends have had big changes in their lives: I know there have been travel experiences far and wide around this world of ours. I do also know that some of the bloggers have struggled through life transitions of job changes, moving house, starting new courses, having health issues to overcome and losing loved family members. Sadly.
There is no doubt in my mind, this community here, and ones where I also join in here, are living, breathing and caring ones and I am very grateful for the connections. Always. In 2018 a much loved link up ceased…so I for one am hoping these lovely link ups continue into 2019.

Now, for the round-up of blog posts for 2018 on Mondays for Life This Week. I was going to use my teacher-voice and call it an award…but it’s not.

Or not. * Please do stay to comment on my post as I always reply and it’s a bloggy thing to do! * Check out what others are up to by leaving a comment because we all love our comments, right! * Add a link back to this blog in your post somewhere. I don’t have a ‘button’ so a link in text is fine! *Posts deemed by me, the owner of the blog and the link-up, to be unsuitable for my audience will be deleted without notice. * THANK you for linking up today!

What Is Life This Week About?
In September 2016 I began the link-up (or linky as some call it) on my blog: denysewhelan.com.au
It’s been almost EVERY single Monday since then.
Here is the first post which explains more and why!
I called it Life This Week as it’s a very general name and bloggers can choose to link up an original post of theirs, which is a previously published one or a new one.
To make it more fun and to add some direction for me and others who follow the link up, I set up OPTIONAL prompts for each week.
They are shown in advance on the home page, and here they are until the end of 2020.

#LifeThisWeek Returns on Monday 4 January 2021.
There are no better ways, for me, to connect with more bloggers from Australia and around the world that this regular link up of mine.
Here’s what I say about ‘joining in’….kind of a rules thing I guess!
I always respond to your comments on my blog post on Life This Week.
I keep the link up open from (Australian Eastern Standard Time) Monday at 5.00. a.m until Wednesday at 5.00 p.m.
I then comment on your blog post and share my appreciation for the bloggers who link up on twitter.
Do come on board and join in when you can. You are only asked to comment on my blog post and a few others if you can. No link and leave, please! We love the conversations here on:
Life This Week
I do warmly invite you to share a blog post for Life This Week on a Monday going forward.
Take care and thank you to all who blog, comment and share…it really helps us keep connected!
Denyse.
Sharing this post here: and here….thank you!
