Technology and me....

just don't mix too well!

it's been such a day of frustration - but i feel that at last, at this late time, close to bedtime...i've managed to solve a bit of the issues i've been dealing with!

yesterday, for some totally unknown and random reason, my very old (and not new to me) photoshop program disappeared....and i mean poof....gone...nowhere to be found. Terry (my computer wizard) couldn't find it! So after some head scratching, yelling and generally pissed off feelings....i found my inner buddha and accepted it! So then the quest for a replacement began. At first i was so full of that excitement that comes with buying something new, stretching out into new territory! Explored the Adobe site, checked the forum here on blip....and commenced the downloading of the 30 day free trial of Lightroom! Then it became very clear that i had no idea how to even begin dealing with this program! Longish story short...i've now installed the 30 day free trial of Elements 11...and having successfully navigated it to a small degree...i think i'm on the right road!

But oh my god.....this has been one of the most frustrating days from a technological point of view....i have had such a feeling of comfort dealing with what i've used for the past 4 years.....it's simple, i know which buttons to push....but now i have to relearn it all!

we are such creatures of our habits and god help us if there has to be change !

Without going into any details...i'm happy to say that the catastrophe that has been unfolding with one of my dearest friends, is moving in a positive direction...thank god! Life is so precious, fragile and unpredictable.....live each day as fully and generously as you can...you just never know which one is going to be the last one! demonstrate to those you love just how much you love them...i mean it....throw your arms around them, kiss them, hug them...tell them you love them deeply!!!

Good night from Cape Breton Island...and have a restful, playful and happy weekend blippers!
