I have been writing for several days now, what is meant to be a blog but which is not yet going anywhere but to my computer screen. I am so envious of the generation below me that grew up with computers; I am learning but ever so slowly it seems, and this latest challenge – my blog connection—continues to elude me. That said, as difficult as the learning is, I adore the possibilities and so persevere into the jungle/mine-field/ haystack with its hidden needle, to accomplish each new step. For fundamentally I believe it will work and that makes all the difference between moving forward toward a goal and batting one’s head against a brick wall. The brick wall is what we don’t believe in but stubbornly try to accomplish anyway. Unfortunately, too often one is not aware of the difference and hurts their head. My original vision on this particular path was a website to share my work with a larger audience. I could see it and so believed in it. If I’d kept a blog for that time, I’m certain that I’d have discouraged most readers, fortunately I did not. It has taken three months of grueling, frustrating, infuriating climbing to reach this point. There is no doubt in my mind that most of that waste of energy was due to my fumbling around in the haystack. Yet, here we are and the site is up, but I’m not yet telling anyone because I can’t get this &^%$#@() blog inserted properly into my site. For all of you over 40’s who want to play in the modern world, take heart, if I can do it so can you and it’s so important. Our communication forms have changed, and like going to a foreign culture, if we’re going to communicate we must learn the language.
