At long last, I have achieved some mastery of the learning curve presented with my new computer and I am up and running again. Thanks to those more knowledgeable than me, I am no longer using Microsoft Office, a program for which I had paid over $100 on my old computer. I have discovered the worry-free (and actually, free) Google Docs, which automatically saves my writing and I will always have access to it even if my new computer crashes at some point in the future. Yay! I am learning also, the idiosyncrasies of the touchpad and can hopefully give up dependence on my mouse. No doubt, things will change again much sooner than I would like, but for now at least, I feel I can keep up with the crowd, albeit at the back of the pack. It reminds me of my running days. I was never the slowest runner when I was running the Bolder Boulder and other 10K races, but I was clearly one of the last pairs of legs to cross the finish line. I have often thought of myself as living in the wrong century and in the wrong place; but I know better now. I am exactly where I am supposed to be at this moment, doing the best that I can.
I have finally posted all of my blogs on my website that I have written since my computer crashed nearly a month ago. You can read them there if you wish and beginning today, they will be posted regularly once again. Thank you, to all of you who have taken the time to read them. Namaste.
