Settling In…

January 11, 2009 /

DSCN0056

Please excuse me as I settle in. I recently moved from Blogger to a new home here. Changes are often hard, and while seemingly a small one, this one is no different. So many questions now…How do I change this? Add that? Will I get used to the format? Will my old friends still stop by for a visit? Will new friends find me? Or will I be all by myself in this currently empty home?

Only time will tell. But all I can say is, so far, it feels good. It feels good to have a fresh, clean space to think in…to share new thoughts…to shake off all the clutter and problems of the old place. A new beginning…just like the New Year ahead represents, so too, does this new blogging home for me. So, while there aren’t many pictures on the walls yet, and no chairs to sit in…I do hope you will come in and make yourself at  home…

Till next time…

    Hi Alice,
    Your new ‘home’ is lovely. You have many people who follow you – they’ll read your post at blogger and come here as I did… you won’t be alone for long! I wish you much success – change is always good if you approach it positively… and you have.
    Best Wishes!

    Hello Alice,
    I know quite well what you mean- I posted about that some posts ago- I need a simpler life, too…
    Your blog here will be even more beautiful (if it is possible!)…
    Take care,
    Monica.

    Hi Alice!
    I’m sure you will love Typepad ~ I’ve been using it for my blog since I started blogging about nine months ago and I love the look of my blog using Typepad and find it very easy to use.
    I will update my sidebar with your new address and wish you happiness with your change and look forward to reading your adventures in life in the future!

    Hi Alice,
    Lovely new home and I will visit often just as before. I think many of us are feeling that need for a little change in this new year. It can be a good thing. Blessings!

    I’ve thought about moving to typepad too. Your work deserves this! It’s much better for your beautiful photos. And your things look wonderful over here at their new home. Blessings… Polly
