Farewell 42 -Birthday Eve

.

It's my last day as 42. In a few hours I will no longer be the answer to "life, the universe, and everything." 42 has been a full year, there has been change, tears, hugs, and joy. I am a little sad to say goodbye to the number, I liked the geekiness of 42, but I expect good things for this next journey around the sun.

This is normally the day I share my final insights and victories of the birthday challenge, with it being birthday eve and the end of the challenge. We are going to break with tradition. The final summary will be posted April 30th.

There are three interconnected reasons for this decision, 1) there are three challenges I am hoping to finish today before midnight. 2) Finishing those challenges will cut into blog writing time, and 3) General Conference begins today and will be my focus till Sunday. Monday I will take to recover. So Tuesday, April 30th seems like the best time to do a full reflection on this year's challenges.

I am trying to decide how best to share the results of this year's challenge. In 42 Before 42 updates I give an explanation of what progress has happened, if it was completed how it was completed, and when possible the pictures. In the next update if a challenge was completed I would remove the summary and picture and just show that it had been completed. Here's my questions: A) do I only show pictures and summaries of the challenges completed since the March update, B) do I show pictures for all the challenges because this is the final update and conclusion of the challenge, C) no one but Liz cares so do it how you want. What do you think?
