Time to Begin Learning Again

          "Life's challenge's are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are."

I like to begin the week with a quote that will inspire me in one way or another.  Although I think the quote above applies to what I am about to undertake, it could also apply to much serious challenges.  We have all been through them and when I look back I realize that I have learned alot about myself even if it is in hindsight.

I am about to embark on a technological challenge.  My computer is about to go so I am looking at buying a new one.  I am not easily overwhelmed but I was Friday night as the teenage salesman (who told us he built his first computer at six years old) quickly took me through all of the good and bad parts of each computer.  Then he told me that in October there would be changes and/or updates on everything I had just learned.  Some of the changes would make things easier; some a little more confusing.  So I decided to do what I was going to do anyway, go home and think about it. 

I realize for me it is easy to think "I can't do that" when it comes to anything technological. But I have also learned that "I can do that" if I slow down and take it one step at a time. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this computer will last a few weeks longer and that by the time I get a new one I will have already begun to feel a little more comfortable with the adventure that I am about to begin. 

We all are different so you may not be overwhelmed by computers but for you it may be something else.  The Kaizen-Muse Creativity strategy of taking small steps to get past the feeling of being overwhelmed truly works.  So I am going to be small stepping it all the way back to the computer store soon.  Wish me luck!

PS  I used a different camera to take the above picture.  When I put it in my computer it said it was a "read only" and could not be edited. (This was a first for me)  It happens to be upside down but I like it that way.  What do you see when you look at it?  Have a great week and remember:

             When you share your dreams and talents with the world, magic happens.  Let the magic begin!

Listen to your friends and do what your heart says! Seriously consider google as your best friend in regards to computers. You will get both sides of the coin that way!..So much info out there if you're willing to read! No matter what I buy I do my research like crazy then I see what works for me...I can take two or three years to figure out a paint color for a room....I am usually satisfied when I take my time. I weigh everything out so I am making a calculated decision...it can be a lot of pressure sometimes. You'll be fine! Write down your computer needs....for me it's photography, writing, art....for you it might be business and gaming...or watching movies and listening to music...everyone has needs important to them...as least that's a starting point!
As for your painting it looks like a beach scene with sand and trees blowing in the wind...I love it upside down. Beautiful!Have a great week and gl on the pc!

I always enjoy the soft texture from your drawings and paintings! The quote goes along with it beautifully.

That's funny about the picture:~) I'm glad you put it up anyway as it's nice the way it is.

Regarding the computer, I'm about where you are. Mine is obviously heading for trouble, but I'm so used to it. The idea of getting a new one is a challenge, but one I may not be able to refuse:~)
