I’ve never been known as someone who embraces change quickly, an early adapter. Even though blogging has been around for ages now I haven’t even been a late adapter! I never thought I’d have any interest in blogging. I enjoy journaling but that’s private. (Likely my blog will be, too, but still….) And what do I have to say anyway? Some of my self defeating beliefs have been that bloggers must be brilliant, exceptional individuals who have crossed the Pacific in a dugout canoe, invented the 3-D printer, or solved world hunger.
However, I live with a couple of techy guys. my partner Dale who is a computer programmer and shaman who helped get the internet up and running back in the day, and my son Josh who has a a web design and reputation management business. These guys have been plotting to entice, push or otherwise lovingly bully me into the brave new world beyond email, Facebook and web surfing. So… much of this afternoon was spent looking at gazillions of possible color palates for my website. Who knew there were so many colors, shades, tones and combinations! My mind was definitely boggled, which didn’t help my decision making problems any easier. I narrowed down my possibilities and, after driving Dale and Josh a little crazy, decided to sleep on it. Then I needed to learn how to get into Lissa Perrin.com and how to do at least enough to write this post. Whew! My non-techy sixty seven year old brain is full.
But I feel great! I’m learning something new, one of my favorite activities, and even have some ideas cooking for what I’d like to write about in this pre-retirement phase of my life. So, if you feel like checking in on the thoughts, feelings, activities and adventures that are part of this stage of my life, stay tuned. I have no doubt that at least the site itself will look fabulous when Josh gets it put together.
Lovely, Lissa! (A secret admirer)
