A Good Run

Thanks for everyone that has visited the North blog. It has been a good run and a different experience than I had expected. I'm redirecting a lot of things in my life, and macro photography and this blog will be a part that will no longer happen.

I'm not deleting the blog - there are important words from other people written on this blog. Those words will stay.

I thank you all for the positive comments you have left on this blog. It has been wonderful reading such kind feedback to my pictures and writing. This is something I will certainly really miss.

Thank you for letting me share parts of myself here. God bless all of you and good travels.

I am saddened to hear this, you were one that kept me going here and in real space via phone and email.

I understand the decision and respect it. It does not make me happy, but I may get to that point as well.

Take care my friend. God bless.

I hope all is well. Though I'm a fairly new follower (according to when I clicked the follow button), I've been reading you (and you comments on several other blogs) for a long time.

You'll be missed.

North,

Thank you...

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

All the best!
Steve

agirlandhergun said...

Not happy!!!!!

Maura said...

I've purposefully not commented. I wanted to make sure you were ok. Ok with your decision, Ok with your "redirection" as you called it.

I also have been a bit at a loss for words. I didn't want to post anything trite or inappropriate. It's a somber occasion.

You are my very best friend, North - and I support you 400%. *hug*

Lila said...

Be happy. That is all I can hope for. I kind of expected this and in a way am happy for you as you continue that soul searching journey and refocusing. I am always an email away though I know you have so many friends who adore you.
