a negative feeling

A Strategy –

A way to cope. First I think about what I can or should do about it. A small problem can easily turn into a big one just by overreacting. Ignoring it and doing nothing should always be plan A. Plan B would be talking about it with someone you trust.

A New Change With WordPress –

A real challenge for us old people. Oh no, not another change! I have to admit most of them are improvements but only after I figure out how it works. As soon as I learned how to copy a post, I had to learn how to duplicate it. That was not a good change.

A Beginning of An Autobiography –

A thinker who took the time to make sense of what he saw. He didn’t listen because he didn’t like what he was hearing. That is the way I would like to be remembered. It had to make sense and I would keep thinking until it did. Socrates would ask questions and believed you could learn something from anyone you had a dialogue with. Let’s talk.
