memories for another time

i need to explain the silence.
i was experimenting if i could stay away.
honest.
i was trying to see if i could stop blogging. not that blogging was becoming addictive but because i was always thinking in blog posts. in snippets. it bothered me. thinking in those terms.
so i decided to stop to see if i could stay away.
needless to say, after almost three months of virtual silence. i am busting with news to tell and wonderful stuff to show.
but the hiatus gave me retrospect. a chance to review and rethink the reasons why i blog.
i have come to the following conclusions:

• my friends and family miss me. i mean even after all those weeks of silence, i still had visitors hoping for an update. i will write for them.
• i was definitely getting more sleep without having to stay up to post but i was fading into gray very quickly. i will write for me.
• most of all, i was creating memories for my children. i will write for them.

so what does this mean? i have decided to take my blog offline and into another format. if you'd still like to receive news from me, let me know.
