In the past week, I have explored caverns in Texas, read the wonderful book The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, and played with my granddaughter. My mind continues to spin with things I plan to write about.
But, alas, all good things must come to an end.
I have written on this little piece of cyberspace for nearly three years ... and I have decided to retire this blog.
I am--without a doubt-- in the biggest soul-searching era of my life. Posting certain thoughts on this blog has helped me navigate this position, but I feel as though my blog has lost its purpose (if it ever really had one), and my job prevents me from wanting to look at a computer after normal working hours. I need to read more books, watch more movies, and ponder my next steps.
I do have two new potential blogs I'm contemplating, but I won't start one until I'm certain the timing is right.
I will one day sit down with a good cup of coffee and read through my years of posting. I'll delete some things and will let the rest remain as an archive of sorts for my family. I'll continue to read some of my favorite blogs, but I probably won't post comments.
Many of my friends are trying to get me to create a Facebook profile. No, thank you. I just want to fly under the radar and keep my thoughts (and opinions) to myself.
Thanks for stopping by. If you have a lot of time on our hands and want to read through nearly thirty-six months of blog posts, be my guest. I don't have that kind of time, but I will give this blog one more lookover some time soon.
Thank you for joining me on this adventure. If and when I begin a new blog, I'll post a notice here.
My best to all of you,
Amy

I am going to so miss your honesty and insight. I love the way you get me going on somethings. Making me remember or appreciate the good stuff. But I understand. I have really simplified my blog and have thought of ending it. But I would miss posting photos. I just have no dreams of ever being a big blogger!
And if you ever join FB please send me a note. The thing I do like about it is that my sister and close friends who don't blog get to put their photos and notes up too. I like that. The quizzes are addictive but I have started limiting time. Or I just don't go on at all until I have several days of hard work put in here at home/studio!
Best wishes on your new adventures!!
I too will miss your writing here. But I know you are making a wise decision for yourself. Enjoy your anonymity.
I must say that I am noticing a pattern: several of the people whose thinking and writing I admire have decided to stop blogging... perhaps there is some wisdom in this that I might need to consider myself.
I hope we are still going to figure out a way to get together and meet one another. Until then, peace. Traveling mercies, dear Amy.
Damn, Amy!!!! I am going to miss you!!!!
I do hope you keep in touch -- I consider you a good friend.
And, as you know, I'm with you on Facebook. I haven't figrured out why people think it's the end-all be-all.
