Change is hard. Especially if you’re of a certain age. If you remember changing television channels by getting up and turning the knob – and even then there were only 3 stations to choose from. If you remember when television stopped broadcasting after the late shows, and families ate dinner together without the TV on at all.
This week the server that supported my blog crashed. We don’t know if it can be fixed. I’m probably not even explaining this correctly; those that know me know that technical things…especially computer technical things…are not my strength. So this whole create a new blog thing is pretty intimidating.
Regardless, I’m starting on it. I think it’s pretty boring right now, but I’ll figure it out. My biggest concern is finding all of you again. So if you have contact with other people that you know used to check in on me, let them now I moved. And I’ll try to figure out how to put a blogroll on this, and work on finding all of your blogs as well.
Change is hard. But one thing we can all count on is change. Over the years I’ve tried to figure out what my blog was about. It started out being about a woman who quit her job and went back to school at 50, then about her new career. But after the new career was knocked off track when the economy tanked and I ended up unemployed it morphed into a dog blog with a side order of other stuff. Then the other stuff took over. I guess the most you can say about it was that it changed.
And so this blog is born of change. I expect more of it in my life. Change is hard for me. But just think, without change I never would have heard of blogging, would never have met all of you. So I’ll work at living with change as long as you’re all along for the ride.
Couldn’t do it without you.

I don’t like change at all either. But your new blog looks good! 🙂

I don’t like it either, change that is.
I’m confident I’ll be able to get something for you to help connect to those you’ve made friends with over the last 5+ years.
This new theme is great though. It let me login with my Facebook account. That’s a nice feature!
I’ll help get you to a good place, but this is a great start!

These shots were actually from my attempt to find Karma’s “End of the earth” photo without being near a large body of water.

Dawn, I saw on Karma’s blog what your new address is, so will go ahead and change my blog roll. Hope you LOVE it here on WordPress and you’ll think change has made things better. (Although it can be so challenging during the midst.)

I am happy you are somewhere, but I will miss going back through your old posts. I used to do that when I felt lonely. I liked looking at the old pictures and remembering good times.

Beth, I’ll post some old pictures on this blog, even if they’ve been seen before…so don’t worry. It will just take me a bit of time to rebuild things.

I just updated my blogroll to your new address. I still have you called Dawn King on the blog roll – is that the name you prefer, or should I change it to “Change is Hard”?

I need to change my blogroll, now that Karma has mentioned that. And I will definitely be along for the ride, through whatever changes life may bring. Changes that are happy, changes that we might fight, but change is, after all and as you said, the one constant.
