  Starting over is a drag. If I counted the times I have started over the numbers on my key pad would be exhausted by now. So, again I am starting over. My life is about starting over and over again. After my third husband passed away I moved 14 times and am considering another move. The fact is that you must start over in life to achieve goals, in my case,  achieving my goal is to learn, learn, learn. Now I am learning how to use what I learned in the past and forgot how to use it, so now I am starting over again. But what is this thing I have to relearn? It's the Computer and all the technology included in the twenty first century; cell phones, I pods, tablets, notebooks, and I don't mean the paper kind.
 Computers have come a long way, so have I.  When I started to use the computer back in the 1970's you had to use floppy discs. Some computers used double disc drives and to add insult to injury a code had to be added to be able to use the keyboard before typing the actual language. And if you think kids today sit at the computer for a very long time now, we had to sit for hours just to get the darn thing up and ready to use...to make any sense out of it! Now I'm over the mountain (over the hill) and across the sea (in another place) looking for new challenges and things to do. So if you think that starting over is a drag ask this young chick who IS over the hill but remains young at heart because I'm competing with the youngn's and you know what? it's not so bad competing with the young ones makes me feel younger and stronger. Oh there were times I felt like quitting and walking out and I even used language you don't want to hear @#$%+ but as long as I master what I am learning it makes me happy. Now let's see what else is new?
