I’ve not figured out what the next stage of my life is going to look like but my resilience has recovered to a level where I am mostly moving forward. Not every day though, and certainly never as fast or direct as this boat!

Move Forward on Day One of May Squares

Moving forward this month is going to include at least 31 squares; as we are in for a month of squaring. I do hope you can hop on board with me and the squares gang. There are four Squares themes, and you can use all or one, or a few of them;

Burgeoning – Move Forward – Reconstruct – Renew

Although there is theme choice, one rule remains unbreakable – You must keep your images square in shape. I will be squaring daily until the 31st May but it is up to you how frequently you square – daily, weekly, fortnightly or just once this month. Just as long as you stay square.

I personally prefer pingbacks and if you do too and you also like to plan ahead – here’s some technical know-how to help with that. My URLs will be as above but with the date reflecting the date of the post and the next number at the end. My post timings will reflect the date, so today’s post was published at 5:01 am and tomorrow will be 5:02 am and so on. If I have confused you with all this technical info, don’t worry you won’t be alone in thinking ‘what?’, simply ignore this paragraph!

If you have ignored that previous paragraph then a quick note to confirm it is totally up to you whether you pingback via your post or add your link with a comment on one of my daily square posts. Both approaches work. It would though help me if you could use this month’s tag #SquaresRenew.

I will visit and comment on every Square, it may not be daily though as life can still become very challenging some days plus it is a busy month. However if you don’t hear from me within three days of squaring check your spam; it could be that the WP gremlins have been up to mischief! If it isn’t them and you think I’ve missed a square do send me another link or drop me line. I don’t want to miss any squares.

    1. wise woman to go for the belt and braces approach, I am just so impressed you have squared from day one as thought it might have to be postponed until later in the month

      1. Might be the reverse, I might tail off when I run out of material! I did not remember to look for suitable illustrations as much as intended. Too busy gallivanting. By the way, have you given up Twitter? I was looking for you to tag but could only find your Portuguese account.

        1. Was I am glad you are too busy gallivanting!

          And yes came off Twitter once it became X, and on Instagram only my Portuguese account is taggable. I might change the tagging though on Instagram so followers can tag

  10. So happy to see you squaring again, Becky! You are going to be deluged with squares because you’ve made so many friends here. Have a wonderfully square month and I hope the rest of it isn’t too challenging. We’ll all be cheering you on as you move forward, however jerky the process. One day at a time. Hugs, darlin!
