For some reason now that I am on my sabbatical and it represents such a dramatic upheaval of my life as it was known to me just 2 short months ago, every little change -including moving my blog from myspace/facebook/xanga- feels like such a dramatic undergoing. Feels, a little weird. Lonely even. Not knowing if anyone will actually read this. Starting over with new readers. Sheesh.
I’ve contemplated that perhaps the fact that I don’t easily accept change perfectly counters the fact that I always have to have some big challenge in my life to be content so that I am always introducing change in my life which inevitably stresses me out for some time before I actually realize I’m happy about it. So, in 3 months I promise you I will write something to the effect of, “oh, how I love wordpress & it’s the best thing that has ever happened to me,” though today I am sure I’ve made a huge mistake.
Next month, the hubby & I are throwing caution to the wind & trying to get preggo. Despite all of the options in front of me that feel completely life-giving & just plain old fun what I really really really want is more kids. (If your counting, 1 more of my own & like 3-4 adopted kids). If I actually do get preggo, by 8 weeks in I’ll be exhausted unable to read my books, stay awake while commuting &/or studying ancient Greek & I will complain on my blog about how miserable I am being in the early stages of pregnancy while taking 6 classes and what I would like all of you to say to me then is:
shut up.
don’t mind this picture below. I just needed a place to “put it.” (ask me later) =)
Hurray! Welcome to wordpress! I’m so excited you’re out in the big wide world of blogdom
)
Oh, I forgot to ask, can I link you from my blog? I always ask first.
I happened to see in my facebook feed the notice about this blog change – wahoo! I hope you like it. I had the same hesitation when I made the switch and have absolutely loved WordPress for a myriad of reasons.
Ran into someone this past weekend who spoke highly of you and your authentic realness. That clearly comes out in your blogging. Love it.
Thanks for being an inspiration.
I agree- it would feel weird to shift a blog spot, I’ve been thinking of doing the same thing too. Too many overlapping circles of people. Viva la wordpress- you are not alone!
hahaha you’re hilarious…
btw, what do you mean you’re gonna try to get preggo? how does that work? why not just call the stork?
“are you satisfied with your sex life?”
welcome to the big leagues
Nice move, Grace. We’ll keep reading!
glad to see you’ve moved to wordpress. it’s so much easier to keep track of you this way, see. i don’t follow blogs on facebook and myspace as much.
