Unfortunately I haven't posted in a while, I'm embarrassed to say,it is because I couldn't figure out how to get back onto my blog. I had a password mix up but hopefully it is now solved. Every new thing we older ones master on the computer doesn't come easy and often doesn't last. We're always playing catch-up to beat the level of a 10 year old.
I just returned from my monthly writers group meeting of 10 members. I presented my article on the challenges of technology, which led to a discussion of how each of us write our articles. Five write long hand and then type, two outline and take notes by hand and then use their computer, only four of them think on the computer as they write. I seemed to be the only one who admitted to now being almost unable to think long hand and must use my computer to think and write. I shared with them how hard it is to write a longhand letter to my sister who doesn't use a computer. My choice to keep in touch with her is to write on the computer, print it out and send it snail mail.
Enough--hopefully I'll remember how to get back on in a few day to continue sharing the adventures of life over eighty.
