For some, this may come as a bit of a shock...

...but this will be my last post on this blog.

It's time for my lady and me to say "good-bye".

I have very much enjoyed writing this blog as an outlet for me - a fun way to relax. It has been nice to share/preserve some of the lovely things and people that I have found. I am thankful for those of you who have visited and chose to follow along, and especially for those of you who have written to me personally. I am thankful for those people who have donated fun and fabulous things to giveaway as well.

I don't want to go into all of the reasons for why I am choosing to say "good-bye" to this blog and to those of you who read it, I will simply say that it is time for me to let it go.

But I will leave you with this quote and with warm wishes that you will choose in your life to think upon the things which are true, right, pure, lovely, of good repute, those things which are excellent or deserving of any praise. And also that you will pursue and promote those things in your life daily, hourly...

"The very desires and intuitions of my inmost heart assured me that another and more lovely land awaited me, an abiding city." ~St. Therese of Lisieux

Blessings,
Susan

I will miss your graceful and always positive presence. I have thought about quitting so many times (for varied reasons) that I can't even ask you to stay, even though I want you to! At least check in every now and again, please?

Hi Susan ~ that is very sad news :( The last blog post :( I wish you well for every endeavour that you and your family embark on, and I have thoroughly enjoyed each of your posts (even when I haven't left a comment :)

Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us all :)

This makes me very sad. While I just met you recently, I'd gotten used to your voice in my life every couple of days.

Very best to you and yours!

Jen said...

Bummer! I'm so sad I will not be able to read up on your interesting finds anymore. Fortunately for me I am your friend in real life not just blog land so you can still share with me your lovely spirit and beautiful things. Your voice will be missed out here in blog land. You are a breeze of fresh air in a world of harsh bloggers.
