Family of Five

Psst! Hey, Over Here!

Abandoned, originally uploaded by texasgurl.

I've moved.

Online, I mean. Wanted my own fancy url and whatnot. You can find me here:

http://family-of-five.com

Isn't that easy? So easy to remember? Not that you have a bad memory, I would never suggest such a thing, but all the same, you should maybe bookmark me now. Or if you're one of my online compadres, who is kind enough to link to me, maybe you could update your link? That would be super! You want to do it now?

Go on over there and do it, then!

Great! I'll wait here. But don't come back here. Go there instead.

Go.

Go now.

Makes It All Worth It

Over the last week some people--old friends, acquaintances, and random strangers--have come out of the woodwork and emailed me, saying kind things about how they've been reading and enjoying my little blog project. I don't know what prompted it exactly, or why it's happening now, but I have to say, publicly, that it means a hell of a lot. This blogging thing is both creative and therapeutic for me. It's not only a way of sharing my life with friends and family that are far from me, but a way of letting go of things that are bugging me, or quieting some small idea that's rattling around in my head. And although I can see how many clicks I get each day, I can't really see where they're coming from, or how many live human beings are associated with those clicks. Most people don't comment (don't be so damn shy, people!), so sometimes it feels like writing into the void.

But it's not, and that's part of what's so wonderful about it. Knowing that people are reading, even if I never hear from them, makes all the difference in the world. So thank you thank you thank you, whoever's out there reading. Even if I never hear from you (oh, say it won't be so!), I appreciate the time you spend here.
