I have thought off and on about my blog and what I wanted to do in the future. It has been a difficult decision to make after such a long run. So many wonderful and not so wonderful memories are documented here. It's like saying an official goodbye to an old friend.
This evening I decided to check in and see how long it has been since I posted anything. Mid-August 2023. Eight months. Gosh. I think I made a choice by default. No activity is a decision!
I always felt I wouldn’t just disappear. I wanted to close out this blog officially with a final post. And this is my final post.
First let me say, I am just fine. I am not ill or depressed or hiding some dreadful life change. While my health is not as good as it was say ... 5 years ago - I am relatively health for a 77 year old. I have many interests - many of which I had shared on this blog. I see friends and family. I enjoy books and play with Legos, work on minimizing the size of all my stuff, knit on occasion - all the typical stuff for me. I am even branching out and exploring water color and colored pencil art. That may not go anywhere, but it has crossed my mind many times over the years - so I am opting to do it this year. If not now, when? I am not idle. My days are full, and I enjoy my life.
But blogging has slipped off the radar for me - and that has been the case for a few years. I don’t see that changing. It used to make me sad at the thought that I might close this blog down but even that emotion is now gone. I see it as a phase of my life that has passed and other things have taken its place.
Thank you to any hangers-on who happen to find this post. I totally enjoyed ‘meeting' you through this medium, and I still enjoy reading your posts. I know most of my regular readers have moved on and that is to be expected. But I wish anyone reading this all the best.
