There are any number of reasons for making a change. In case you haven't noticed in the course of reading this, the link to the header for this page has expired - long expired, like the full gallon of milk in our fridge when Libby went off of lactose - and I have yet to do anything about it. I suppose I could recreate it, but a switch in computers between now and the original means my programs and fonts and images are all scraped off into the wild blue yonder. The serious time devotion to recreating one measly blog header is not worth the reward. And blogger has made so many template-formatting changes, I'm not even sure I could figure out how to edit this thing without bringing the whole HTML-infrastructure crashing down.

And, you know, it's not like I'm a perfectionist or anything, making this whole reconstruction thing even more time-involved... at least that's not a factor at all! >.>

The point is, it's not worth clinging to this skeleton of a blog. It's time for a change. That may mean a new blog; it may mean... I don't know.

But it was time for a change anyway. The blogging persona that I invented years ago as a freshman in high school was long, long gone before the link at the top of the page expired. The persona I conjured together as a nursing-student-gone-nurse is fading too. The self-description always said "happens to be," and all my "happens to be"-s are changing. Just now, I'm a child of God who happens to be jobless and planning a wedding and trying to decide what to do with the next two weeks. By mid-August, I will be a child of God who happens to be married to Daniel.

Of course, "happens to be" does not mean that being a nurse or being married are No Big Deal. Rather,  there is a balance. I am not changing blogs/unblogging because I have Arrived Somewhere; I am not not changing because the change is insignificant. But I need some time for thought, and I need some time to talk about it with a Certain Fellow whose opinion is rather significant.

Expect another post. We'll take it from there.
