I must get used to this laptop akay but here I am . I am a "left-overs-kind-of-girl" .<br />When something is broken there is always coming a solution my way . I never buy something new and in the store . And I got used to that way of living . When my laptop gave up I asked my son for advise . He took the laptop with him and that was that He is young , has his own business a wife and a daugther so....... a busy life and I guess my laptop was not his priority .<br />With many things I could manage wirh my Ipad and Iphone ( how lucky I am to have those ..) but blogging was a disaster......<br />I also started on Instagram but to me that"s different because I have never been a photographer and I was content searching for images on pinterest . ( content with left-overs but very good in finding just what I meant )<br />Instead of blogging my time filled up with facebook , instagram and pinterest .<br />But .....blogging was my very first journey when I got my first laptop in 2008 . A friend showed me the way and my small world transformed in the-world-was-in-my-house !<br />I learned to blog in another language , to express myself in another language . At first with my dictionary in my hand .......<br />I was amazed by the fact that I found women far away who felt like soul-mates .<br />So the magic from blogging stole my heart . <br />I told my son I was realy missing that and asked him to be honest with me about my laptop .<br />The very next day he brougth me the one I am using now . An old one from my son .....but working !<br />I do not mind as long as I can do my thing ..... So you asked what I was doing........ I am getting used to.........<br />my new life ever since I got my two new hips and me no longer being a teacher and no longer a mother with children in the house ......<br />I was allowed to recover from hardly able to walk to stand on my own TWO feet again .<br />from being a single mom of four always worrying about how to survive to enjoying how blessed I am now .<br />from working fulltime at school to having all the time of the world ......<br />and that brougth me a whole new journey to who I was before all that happened transformed into who I have become through the years ..... I know .....sounds complicated but to me it"s all a blessing .<br />Like you I am always finding things I kept and they tell me about the me I was and the miracle is those moments are a healing process . I now can see with loving eyes how I survived but so much better than I could see by than.....<br />I always thougth I was "just" adjusting and making the best of it ..... NOW I can see I always was myself in how I survived .<br />All the things I am finding in my house now are SIGNS and also healing miracles . Notes and cards and letters , little presents <br />but also unexpected encounters ..... I am SO counting my blessings ........ And I have a new friend , me , myself and I am getting to know her and she is fun to be around with . <br />that"s what I am doing dear Carol . Thanks for being here ! Have a wonderful last_days_of_september week .<br />francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835107228406352170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-17385263084931308172015-09-28T00:44:10.248-07:002015-09-28T00:44:10.248-07:00The house looks so nice all decorated for the seas...The house looks so nice all decorated for the season!
