Here I am!
In the four days I haven't been able to write any blog posts, I realized how ingrained keeping a blog has become in five years. Five years is a long time, a part of my life, so here's to the next five years.
I have no intention of maintaining this blog as an official writer's blog so I can keep this as low key as possible. To avoid being found easily by Googling what could be considered my key words, I've chosen a title with no key words in it (like writing or dogs or osprey), I'm not using titles, I'm asking that no one provide a link to this blog on their own blog/website, but likely the best thing is that I've checked the box that makes this blog unavailable to search engines. It's just for us, and you know who you are.
Just writing all that makes me want to stop this madness but that would mean having to do email newsletters and I think I've proven that I suck at those. This blog isn't to promote me -- one of these days, I hope to have an author's website -- but for right now, I'm just sharing our life with friends and family.
So this is my opening note to welcome you to my new blog. Change is always good and it is time for something new.
Something pink!
