Changing of the Guard

I have been seriously having the best of times over the past couple of months.

I have totally reorganized Hittyville and packed away TONS of things.

My Journaling and Art Rooms are coming together and I feel a sense of real direction as an artist...

I recently polled my family and friends and they ALL agreed, my blog is rarely visited by them anymore.  I appreciated their honesty.  They love the fact Hittyville is a big part of my life, but for them...not so much.

So...what I have been doing is journaling my Hittyville Adventures...in a bit of a scrapbook form and loving it.  That is how I started and then I began sharing it with my mom and dad and students online.  Blogs were "the thing" back then and although it was a tremendous amount of work, I thoroughly enjoyed it and appreciated the MANY visitors which made it all worthwhile. 

Times have changed and so have I.  I no longer feel the need to live my creative life "out loud".  My parents have passed on, I am no longer teaching, and I sense any interest in Hittyville has greatly diminished over the years.  I am totally content living in my own private world where my love of Hittyville is stronger than ever!

I will, however, continue to put my Abe stories here for my immediate family to see and then print out the entries for my grandson's journals.

In the past, I have wrestled with "to blog or not to blog" and when it became apparent very few were visiting Hittyville, I decided it was really time to go back to my roots and I am so glad I have!

~Change can definitely be a good thing~
