Steve Jobs - I never meant that Bill Gates was the creator of Apple... I guess I had a brain fart, that happens when you get my age, and in our day and time, I should have googled, but I have to make this correction, because I so respect Steve Jobs... My bad on the previous post.  Since I have purchased an apple I have tried to learn and read as much as I can about Steve Jobs to find out what made him such a genius!  Anyway, my gufaful... RESPECT Steve Jobs.

Doing Something, Anything Better

More than a year.  I haven't made even a peep about blogging in over a year.  I could say that the past year has been very busy, and making the type of improvements aren't exactly the kind you talk about.
I have spent the past year making "home improvements", improvements to my ever lovin body, and our home.  We had a fire, which had us relocated for a period of time while the home was being rebuilt, and because of my age I am guessing, my body needed a little work done.  So I took the time out of my 'Something Better', and allowed doctors to improve me.
Now I couldn't be happier, most of the time.
My granddaughters are beginning pre-K today.  Yes, Pre-K!  My daughter had an awakening, and is so spiritually on fire, the Glory that God is raining on her, nothing short of a miracle.  Even my husband is impressed!  My son has begun his own awakening... he's quit smoking.
The world seems to have turned upside down though.  The heat that we experienced for the summer season has been HOT... The prices at the gas pump have risen off the charts, and the presidential election between Obama and Romney seems a political game so corrupt that the nonsense caused me to stop watching the news.
The one thing that always remains the constant in my life, my husband of 35 years, and walking.  After getting out the hospital, my only exercise is walking and stretching.  Putting one foot in front of the other.  Raising my knees to allow the quadriceps muscle feel the heat, circulate the blood, get pumped, because this is the rest of my life.
I received my second iPod, an Apple iPad Touch, and the technology blew me off the page.  The clarity with which I see on my screen, whether it's shoes, handbags, fashion, or a YouTube video is nothing short of miraculous.  I was so captivated by the iPod Touch, my husband then purchased an iPad for me!  Really.  I can now say that Bill Gates vision is renaissance!  I love everything about the apple products, from packaging, plugging it in, to turning it off and on again; and one day hope to replace my personal computer with a Mac.
My favorite hobby is still going out and taking photos, spending time outdoors whether walking or working in the yard, and knitting.  And I am good; but writing remains my love.
If I could sit here and write words to lift your spirits, I would, because not giving up is just that.  Lifting your countenance; Our Father, does that for me everyday.  And when I thought there was nothing left in me to give, my spirit was quickened with the words, 'Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee' Psalms 119:11.

Keep your head up and TRUST.

Hey,
It's been so long since I typed my post in blogger, I forgot how.  A little apprehensive even.  I so wanted to have a place to put my "something betters".  I even think it kept me inspired...but letting it go wasn't that hard really, when I had Facebook.  the dreaded Facebook, it's like a punch in the gut with all the blank you know what spewing forth from it's clutches.
Initially, i ended up having two accounts, the stupid program couldn't put the two of us together, so whenever i update one, it doesn't update in the other, and all my friends and family have to friend me twice, fun.  i never had the time to work that out... i just go there and post pictures from time to time. 
Just a few minutes ago, i was responding to a YouTube video, it wasn't even a video, someone posted pictures of the Magic Mesh... you know that commercial, where you see the people walk out the door, or in the door and each time, there's that sweet sound of the door closing behind you.  Come on, you know!  Anyway, I couldn't figure the directions out so, voila, I'll just look it up in YouTube, everything you could think of is over there.  And there it was, easy to understand pictures.  To my delight quite self explanatory.  Sweet!  I want to leave a comment and tell the author about the beauty of his post and eeeehhh... you must go through Facebook!  I must go through Facebook? or twitter, and I am not as familiar with these programs. i found a way to leave a comment though, through another dummy button for Facebook.  Back door way, i am sure.  I liked it, and it went to Facebook without a password!  Yeah, now that I have been completely honest, and I feel good about that. Which brings me to another collective idea i have, but another time.
But my bitch, gripe, discomfort is with Facebook.  Isn't anyone doing anything to shut this down.  I currently use Google+ but it's another one of those programs where you befriend your family and friends, or go to MSN, there's another, or even better still, get your own little space, where you send people your information or get theirs through some subscription.  Which now brings me to another sore point that i have with Facebook...
The dreaded friend chatter.  When your friend or loved one spends their time on Facebook, you get an email as follow up, because we are friends right?  do i really need a blow by blow of chatter entering my mailbox?  I thought that was what Twitter was for.  I don't tweet.  As a matter of fact, i am going to get a twitter account right now.  Let's see how that works out?
Sound out if you like what i said or not.  I am sure we all have our stories, however, the Something Better today, has to be the fact that I have both identified my oppinion on the matter and that makes me better, because i have integrity.  Thank God through Christ that I have had the strength and courage to come back to Blogger, and say something, which makes my day better!
