This website is a struggle for me. I am of the generation that grew up thinking communication like this was of the Star Trek variety, pretty much a fantasy. My first contact with a computer was the one in the counselor’s office in high school where you could run a program that asked questions about yourself and told you what types of work fit your profile. Nobody I knew as a senior in high school had a computer at home.
But now, I have a website and blog, because I love to write, and have a book soon to be released, and it seems to be the way to promote these things. When I am trying to build this site, I am sure you who are computer literate out there would cringe and laugh at this pitiful entrepreneur. I get so confused sometimes that I give up. There is a whole new language to learn, a whole new culture to understand!
So today I celebrate “small accomplishments,” like when I figure out how to put icons with links on the page so you can order my book. It took me at least two days and much anxiety to figure this out. It feels like a reason to celebrate to me! Others have said to me that they think my writing is a hugely big deal. To me, it comes naturally, so it feels like a small accomplishment.
Maybe the point is that we need to celebrate both small and large accomplishments! We all need to insert celebration into our lives. Celebrate the small accomplishment of getting out of bed in the morning, which may be a huge accomplishment to someone! Look for ways to celebrate, my friends, and live a life of joy!
