Moving on...

Tonight's the night my blog gets new digs. Hopefully the change won't be noticeable. Except I'll be in My.Own.Space.

I began this blog nearly two years ago thinking it would be a great way for my family and closest friends to keep up with what The Lizard and I were doing without me clogging everyone's email inboxes. I needed a place to post my trip reports and photos because GeoCities was being terminated.

I had no idea when I began this blog it would become what it has become. I didn't know I would be designing snowflakes for people all over the world. I didn't know I would be able to raise so much money for multiple sclerosis. I hoped my blog would soothe my journalistic yearnings, and I hoped it wouldn't be too much of a time hog.

When Blogger went down a couple of weeks ago, I realized I have quite a bit of information posted free of charge on space that doesn't belong to me. Blogger has been a very good home, and I don't regret for one minute choosing this as a temporary place to live.

I spent many years in an apartment that didn't belong to me. It was a wonderful home, right on a bike path. It provided safe haven the entire time I lived there. But it was not mine.

Parking my blog in my own space feels like setting up a real residence to house the the things I love most. My new internet space, snowcatcher.net, is mine. I own it. It's not an apartment. It's a home. It's MY home.

I'll be back Monday with a new snowflake...
