The ceiling fan is freezing my feet, but I can't bring myself to go to bed. Just another quick page here, a bit of needless information there. Nothing needs to be checked through. I'm just taking my time, answering to no one.
I will tell you this: I am coming to an end with blogging. As much as I have enjoyed it through the years, it doesn't reflect my current situation quite the way I would like it to. I want to go back to not showing up in the search engine. There is too much of my name in places that I don't understand why. My inbox is full of a lot of "please add my site," and there is nothing wrong with that, it just requires more time than I have.
Everyday is 3 daughters all growing up too quickly. Everyday requires my attention to be sucked out into little squishy fragments of Play-doh and dirty diapers. Mommy Time should be Me Time and not Computer Time.
Did you know the sun still shines even when your head is full of tweets? Some may Twitter all they like, but my sadness is in the time wasting it breeds. And this is precisely how I felt ages ago about this very blog, and nearly pulled the plug then. I just want to be straight forward in the reality of my limitations: I really don't enjoy blogging much anymore.
So I want to say thanks to all that have read here. The discussions have been as energizing, sweet, comical, and occasionally dismal as life often allows. I will leave this standing, as is, for a bit longer, but note I will delete it within the next two months, to be sure.
Long thoughts have gone into finally letting this go. I can only blame it on real life just being more beautiful and satisfying than all the 15 minute online writing snippets in the world. I think you all may agree.
Thank you for reading and for your own post contributions.
In The Light,

I know that I've enjoyed reading your blog over the past few months. I wish you and your family well and thank you for allowing me to peek into your life!
Take Care!
Oh, Laurie! I will miss you and your wonderful insight, but I certainly understand your misgivings about this enterprise and how much it takes away from your family. I wish you much happiness and success in life and especially in your move back to Portland. Keep well. ((hugs))

Best wishes for the months and years to come. I still hope that one of these days we'll meet in person.
Laurie, I will miss reading your blogs and hearing about your daughters, chickens and gardens. Best of luck with your move back to the city, and thank you for sharing your thoughts while you could!
I want to thank each of you for posting here and sharing your lives with ME. I am lucky to have encountered such wonderful people on the net. You are all in my thoughts as we move to this next stage in our lives.
Thank you so much for being the beautiful individuals you are.
Laurie
Laurie, I will miss you and your perspectives and wisdom! Although I was really looking forward to following your home renovations and new city life, I fully understand the need to remove things from your plate. I wish you and your family all the best!
I'll miss your blog Laurie, but I know I'll see you other places. I have been thinking of letting mine go as well, but not quite ready to.
It was hard to let go in some ways, but I feel done here. Moving to Portland is a new chapter. This past chapter is rapidly closing up.....
Good luck everyone!
