Not long ago, a couple of years back to be accurate, I decided to join school bench again and get to know what is that all about HTML and the website thing. At that time I was Mom with a restless mind, approaching mid. 40ties - I enjoyed going and learning all this stuff with all kinds of people of different ages and from different walks of life.
Today I am still into web design and as it is with all "new tech" - it will never finish as it looks. Good for many of us and an unbelievable hurdle for others. It seems this curiosity runs in my family, my father was 76 when he decided to get someone to teach him about internet and how to use msn, the webcam came later and some months back he brought his own brand new laptop! Needless to say, there are many obstacles like email without text, skype brake downs and plugs not properly plugged in but most of all I honor the courage to do it - I salute my Father for this :-) as well as all people who don't consider age as a measurement for being able to do something or not.
Myself, I am soon 50 and Mom of two teen agers - 13 and 16 years old. I am a "late boomer" or older Mom but it was as it had to be since I wanted to enjoy my life before settle down a couple of years and be there for the kids first steps and bouncers. I decided to be fulltime Mom and keeper of the house for around 11 years. Meanwhile I studied Homeopathic remedies, natural healing and all that helps us to stay healthy and without the gods in white. Today I am proud to say, that our kids have not seen a doc all their life except for the most necessary things like a vaccination.
So what has that all to do with the blogger world”
Its simple - I am using this tool now to share my thoughts (some of the radical and controversial) , my experience and what ever crosses my mind. This is just the beginning - the first step leads to destiny :-) one of my aims is to become old and wise and a great story teller for the kids to come and all those children by heart – maybe then we will have no more pc’s and go back to the “I tell you a story” thing as it used to be for a long time. Then we would meet each other again instead of calling on the phone or internet. Then we might look into each others eyes and see the joy, sadness, happiness and will be able to feel with some one even if a stranger. But this is to come – for now I will go “electronic” and enjoy that as well. What’s life if we don’t appreciate and enjoy it?
I am a thinker, poet, dreamer and humanitarian and biz woman - I like to discuss subjects from home to office to shop to atomic bomb to extraterrestrials near death experiences self healing and much much more.... I am a born optimistic person and probably a pain to all pessimistic people or maybe I have to correct a little - I am a moderate pain - since I grew older and maybe a little wiser ? J
Wise is the one who knows that he knows - experienced is the one that has done what the wise knows.
One of my strong even stubborn points in life is TO HAVE A CHOICE! To me life without a choice in what ever matter or situation is prison. Knowledge is to a certain extend good and yet, bad as well. So called “knowledge” can be altered any time and will leave me paralyzed so best thing is, to make up my own mind, learn and have a stand in life where I can say” I AM and I know that is a choice – my CHOICE. You see, there she goes…. That is it for this post
Until next time
love
