Hello world!

Welcome to my blog. It’s a lot of work for this tech limited chic here, but as it says above, I am Simply Becoming (Who I Am). Sometimes, okay, most of the time ‘Simply’ means slowly, at least for me, and that’s okay. Sometimes it means learning new things and that’s definitely more than okay. Then sometimes, it means starting over a bit. I will explain this later.

Many moons ago, I was so thrilled when I got to the college that I was going to start the next year. I first got a couple of jobs to save money. Then even though I wasn’t a student I spent a lot of time on campus. In the bookstore, just walking from building and most of all in the computer section of the library. I purchased a couple of floppy discs (look them up if you don’t know what they are) and a case to store them.

I got my log in info, turned on the computer and went to work. Oh there was so much to learn. I can’t remember what data I entered in to be stored on the floppy discs, but I do remember it was a ‘Word Program’. Cool all set. I was so excited and thought I had reached the big time. Another day I went back to said library and tried to bring up my information. It said there wasn’t any on my disc. I was confused. I thought oh well I’ll try again. I typed the info I wanted and saved it again. I can’t remember if I checked it then or needed to go and checked it later. Nonetheless, it still said there was no info saved. I was really bummed then. I got talking with some of my roommates about what was going on and they asked how I was saving it? I told them, and they asked me what file location I was using? I gave a blank stare, which meant I had NO idea.

We scheduled a time to go to the library so they could see what I was doing. Yep, you guessed it was wasn’t using the correct file location to file it on the disc but that all I had input, had been saved to the computers hard drive. So with a little know how I was off again, inputting data I wanted to save.

To make a long story short, I did get better on the computer. NOT great but better. I have learned through the years a few programs and used them, and fell in love with the internet. I even started a blog a few years back but I gave it up due mostly to mental health reasons.

Now, the ‘sometimes staring over’ comment I mentioned above, that is another outcome to the mental illness that I suffer with and treatment that I have received to help it. The treatment affected my memory. There are so many things I don’t remember anymore, and things I can remember only after repetition. Things I can remember for just a short time, and memories that are coming back, a little at a time and sometimes at the strangest times and in the strangest places.

So here we are getting this blog off the ground, or at least trying, as I said I am tech challenged. I am not going to let a hard, slow time keep me from fulfilling one of my dreams. This will be a place for me to write things that I am dealing with in which I am able to help or inspire someone else who may be going through what I am. Also a place to share things that have and do help me, as well as a place to learn from each other.

I plan on posting each week on Monday. I think it’s a great day to start each week off on our journey.

Come along with me.
