It had been a coaster ride of emotions –
happy,
sad,
angry,
funny,
depressed,
inspired –
but the time had come
for the ride to end.
Stay inspired
and
good bye.

This is the last Sunday 160 I will host. I began writing Sunday 160's as a way to commit myself to a weekly blog post. Now the time has come to take a break. Thank each and every one of you for participating at some time over the past couple of years.

Monkey Man...
It's been a pleasure...
I played (sniff) One last time
Thanks for being a wonderful host MM and turning me onto the joys of micro-writing. I've enjoyed it immensely.
I don't blame you one bit for wanting/needing a break--enjoy yourself. Hope to see you around...

Monkey Man, since it is your last hosting--for awhile?--I'm breaking the rules, posting mine a couple hours early.
This is like the end of an era, you are an icon in this blog-world, man!
But, you WILL be hanging around...right?
PEACE!
Oh! Here is MY 160
Sad, I truly love this meme,
Always having fun.
posted one for you.
Smiles.
will miss it horribly.
beautiful 160.
i believe that you will come back hosting after a break.
Don't get discouraged.
Thank you, Monkey Man!
It has been a pleasure to join in your challenge. Thank you for doing this. I have done one final one as a so long and thanks. http://lemoldman.blogspot.com/2011/12/thank-you-for-trip.html

No! Okay, it's your blog. :-)
Here's mine: Room 102
Sad, but all good things come to an end...loved taking part in this. Looking forward to some more challenges.
Mine's up here:http://janukulkarni.blogspot.com/2011/12/duo.html
uh, WHAT?
What? Whaaahhh!
Mine is up
WEll, that is sad! I hope you will still be doing 55s.
Well that's a real shame - but I totally understand. Thanks for being a great host and encouraging us to play along with you!
Please feel free to drop by my blog whenever you're in the neighbourhood.
I've played this week. Sorry it's a bad tempered one to finish on.
I'll miss reading yours, but enjoy your break MM x
Well shoot, I just got here a little while ago.
You are one Cool Host...even if I crashed in more than I brought a dish. :)
What seems to happen in blog land is that we eventually get overwhelmed wit having to comment. It becomes a chore after a while, especially when a meme grows large. It's hard to keep up with.
However, if I created something like this, I think I'd throw a linky up every week and let people use my site as a home base. Just saying :)
How strange! What do I find, but the word 'end' - which compliments the 160 I've just written HERE in a most uncanny fashion!
Oh, this is kind of sad! I always enjoyed the Sunday 160´s and you´ve been great following up too. Hope I´ll see you around anyways!
I´ll post mine just now...
thanks again monkey...
mine is up now...
Oh dear...I will miss you. My 160 is written in your honor.

I'll miss you, too. I loved the challenge of the 160. Mine is a tiny rage against censorship. In a nice way.

Thank you for the fun inspiration every Sunday. I wish you all the best ~
Otin has a pretty good idea there. Definitely worth considering. Time will tell.
Everyone needs and deserves a break! Hope you enjoy yours, MM :)...Hope to still see you around blog land!
many thanks M Man...you have held us captive...best in all
Peace

I'm glad I made time to post one last time :) Thanks, MM!
It has been sweet.
Why don't you pick someone you trust to run it for you until you are ready to take it back?
Oh Monkey, that is a shame. I know lots of people enjoy the challenge, myself included. I know I haven't always been consistent in dropping in, but your 160s will be missed. Best of luck in your future endeavors & enjoy the break.
Goodbye!
Say it isn't so! I know I've been gone a while, but why do you have to leave the moment I come back?? Your wit will be missed :-) MIne is here.

I didn't get a chance to post today and even though I'm a fairly recent newcomer, I will miss this. Thanks for hosting & for inspiring us :)
Hey! I'm glad I got one up last week, for your PENULTIMATE Sunday 160. Goofed off today though, so nothing to offer as your swan song. Except that it was fun and challenging. You offered a forum for fooling around with the building blocks of language (!), using letters and spaces and punctuation too as tools for terse communication.
I'll tell you the truth, MM, nobody was ever your equal with the knee-slapping 160-character joke. Nobody ever even came close, except maybe Galen.
And I LOVED seeing the -30- .... that antiquarian typesetting codeword for DONE. Well, no, I didn't love it, exactly, more feared it, at first, wondering just how far finished were you about to be? I then LOVED it with sheer relief that MM Himself was not history.
I haven't been getting around as often this past season, but a tour of my garden today tells me that Blogland is calling, since the dahlias have officially croaked in this cold spell. I'll stop by more often, especially for Wednesdays. I think of you whenever a news story leaves me blinking.
And I'll miss your terse jokes.
a beautiful good-bye! i do hope someone else will take the reigns, i've seen these 160's all over the show, and have enjoyed them immensely.
So sorry I've not put anything together, MM. Would have liked to do one last 160...
Thanks for sharing your Sunday with us! xo
I will miss them even though I do not always join in! thanks so much.
Not done blogging though, I would hope? Just the 160, right?
Well if I said I would miss Sunday 160 I would be disingenuous as I believe this is my first time visiting your blog. If I have been here before it's been awhile. I like the variety of content here. I would love to follow but Blogger isn't letting me at the moment.
Full circle, Monkey Man.
Nice to read yer stuff again.
well that doesnt sound good :/
Well .... NUTS! I had already prepared an entry for December 11! It's been fun, Monkey Man.
Hmmm... to not see "toss me a vine" again for a while seems sad - I've met many a great writer here, most importantly, you.
How does Mrs Monkey Man feel about all of this, one must ask?
so its nearly sunday and i dont know what to do with myself...hope you are enjoying life monkey...
Awww...I'll miss seeing what treat you've come up with to go with my coffee on Sunday morning.
I'm in one last time.
Ok, so I've been MIA for awhile and am trying to catch up on my reading and... It's over? Boo! I love the 160 Sunday. I understand a break is sometimes necessity (I believe I'm taking am extended break), but please say it's not the end in the forever sense of the word.
