Technology

Now that I have slept, I remember what I wanted to write!
I was talking to the Beginner Black Dragons about the charities that we support by raising money and I had this cool idea to show them the pictures that I have on my iPad and tell them a little about them. It was a great idea in theory but letting technology into my world was my first mistake. I opened up the file and when I went to make  the pictures bigger so they could all see, they disappeared and I couldn't get the file to open again. It turns out I was in edit mode and therefore limited in what I could do, how did I get there? I don't know! Now, I know the best way to get better at something is to practice but I get so frustrated when I can't figure things out that I don't want to even try. Sometimes when I ask someone who is familiar with these things, I end up feeling stupid and inept!!! Sigh....
Here's the plan, pretend it is just like a form, I don't have any trouble asking for help with a move I can't get, so I will ask for help (completely removing my ego from the mix) and practice more to become familiar with the moves. I know I will never be a programmer but it would be nice to know where to look if things don't go right

I feel like this every time I come home and everyone I know has a new phone and Ipad and computer and I have no idea how to use any of them. You just have to be patient with yourself. Technology is constantly changing, you can't be expected to know what you're doing all the time :)
