This is difficult

I am stepping away from blogging; this is not a surprise to my regular visitors.  I haven't been able to come up with a post for over a month.  It is not so much that the well is dry, it is more like a new direction needs to be found.  I don't really think I'll be blogless forever, but it will be long enough that it is better for me to officially sign off now.

Through this blog I have found many wonderful people who I am honored to call friend.  It is not a stretch to say that my life is different because of the personal connections made.  I will continue to nurture those relationships, and will be a better commenter and emailer in my blog absence.

I am going to keep my typepad account, and will keep PinkPurlGrrl public.  If you have a bloglines account throw me on there and you'll see it if I toss a post off every now and then.  I'll have to share pictures when that darn baby sweater is done, and there is a story that will need to be posted when it resolves.  Until then, take care and look for me in your comments.  If you are likewise blogless send me an email, I always have room for friends.

On this day, just shy of my 35th birthday, I bid you adieu in this format only.  I'm not going away, just shifting.
