First off, I do not
like nor ‘do’ change well. Below is a
perfect example:
While grateful to have a new laptop, I am less than enamored
with windows 8…. Hard as heck to maneuver, made for touch screens and tried to
get it to be friendly with all other computer devices.
I am one of the ‘lucky’
ones. I have been slowly trying to adapt
since September. One day it seems ok,
the next there is nothing friendly about it.
Without bashing this any further (since I am sure you have the point) I
found a ‘fix’ in installing windows 8.1
So, I did.
Listen, my mouse
pad quit taking commands. I could not
close any programs. It was awful and making matters worse is my a) lack of
knowledge and b) desire to find out how to work around this.
This morning, out
of frustration, I reset my computer back to factory settings. The only thing left in tact was my photos or
any other files I had stored.
So, I did not throw
out my laptop like I threatened to do last night. Not sure if all will be well tonight, but
there is always hope.
Hope…………. This thanksgiving I believe all that sit at
the table with my children will feel.
And prayerfully say that “T” will be here next year. His chemo is going ok (if that is
possible). He is on his 3rd
round, skipping every other week. So,
this being a chemo week, I hope he will feel like eating with us. My
granddaughter has a tradition with her pawpaw that she spends the night b4
Thanksgiving with him. Helping prepare
dressing and other goodies. The other
day she quietly mentioned that it won’t be the same anymore. I could feel her sadness. I had to look away to keep from crying. She seems like an old soul at times, at only
13.
So, swallowing hard
and praying to God that we ‘get’ another chance to gather around the table
blessed with all the goodies made with love; our family will survive and my grandchildren
will always know how loved they are.
