Still Alive

Thank You to the people who wrote concerned emails. Yes I'm still alive!
My family and I have been through a time of unplanned and unexpected change.
A new job for me has made it possible for us to purchase our first home. So in three months, I've changed jobs and we've moved house. Not much time left over for blogging.
But there's something else too. I'm in a conundrum about the blog. My life is so different to when I started it. Back then I was struggling with postnatal depression, isolation and loneliness. I also depended upon the income from selling my work. Happily-none of these things are an issue for me, and, together with the time constraints of a busy life, it seems like maybe it's time to let the blog go. But it's not really that simple because I really value the memories it preserves of our special family moments, and I really value the friendships blogging has bought me.

Maybe I need a new blog for this new phase of my life?

I'll keep mulling it over. But in the meantime-yes I'm still alive. More so than ever in fact!

By the way... That photo up there is the view from our lawn at the new house. Since it was taken, it's rained. A lot. Which made that thirsty grass very happy.
