Softly As I Leave You

So.....

Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos.

I posted for the first time on this blog on May 2,2010. Seems like ages ago really and a good bit has changed in my life since then. I am nowhere near the same person that I was then. I have made new friends and have lost a few. I have moved into new directions at my job. I have travelled more than I ever thought I would have had the chance to.
I have finally come around to the idea that blogging is indeed dead or dying. I read a very few blogs myself now. At one point I had upwards of 15 on my reader but now its less than 5 that I check on a regular basis. And I hardly ever comment anymore on any of them.
Twitter has replaced a good portion of blogging. Facebook is still pretty strong of course....
Blogging is slowly slipping away.....And thats ok.
I used this blog for the past year to document my weight loss journey. I have had amazing support from you all and appreciate it. I have managed to lose about 60lbs in 13 months and keep it off. I will continue to lose weight and get into better shape...thats a promise not just to me but to you all also. But things have changed and there is really no need for my blogging voice to be heard anymore...and that too is ok.

So thanks for the memories and the comments over the past couple of years....its been a blast. Lets do it again sometime....
Peace

Well first of all...I think if you only started this blog on May 2, 2010 that you really haven't put that much time into it. Five months is all you had to give? Secondly I am sorry to see you go from the blogosphere. Like most of us out there I don't update mine nearly frequently enough, and I also pretty much don't comment on anything anymore, but I do check everyone's blog (usually once a day) to read the new posts.

I think Twitter is part of what has taken down blogging (and one day that too shall fall), but for now you also live a busy life and if its not all at a computer blogging, tweeting, FB'ing, AIM'ing, or ROTFL'ing then thats not a bad thing either because that means you are out in the world sharing your you with the world.

So long fair blogger, we hardly knew ye!

Don't give up the blogging just yet my friend. It can be a way for you to be accountable for your losses and keep us all in the know.

Bathing is an enjoyable time between you and your baby. Your new born baby during the first six weeks does not necessarily need a full bath every day. A soft wash cloth or cotton wool and some warm water will do to clean him up.Baby bathing is fun
