I am making the switch from windows to apple. The ongoing issue with viruses has led me to the change. I am missing some things from windows such as the ability to copy disks. Only have one disk drive on the mini mac. I am not sure how to play music yet. I will get there. It took me awhile to figure out how to get office mac set up. There were 25 numbers on the back of the package that I had to enter. My 13 year old son helped me figure it out. He jumps around on the computer in a way that I don't think I will master. He takes the computer for granted and would like one in his room. I am not too excited about my 13 year old son having a computer in his room. I want some level of parental control. I am fairly relaxed but there are some things that I want to keep tabs on. I appreciate having a new system even if I am not completely familiar with it. Sometimes, I like change and then there are other times that I run away from change. Please stay the same I think but then that leads me to feeling restless and unsure about myself.
Creativity is banging on the door. I work with fabric through collage. I will see if I can post some of my work. Anyway, I love art and it makes me feel alive. It is like a child that I need to nurture and right now it has been down right neglected and I can feel it. I need to make something and I am not sure what that something will be. I sometimes make things from a place that I am not entirely clear about. I have sold some of my batiks and had some of my photographs published but I have never tried to support myself through art. Too many messages that say you can't do that - you can't support yourself through your art but then there is the child inside me screaming at the top of her lungs saying look at me - let me express myself. I am not sure I am making much sense here. Anyway, I have been engaged in different visual art venues my whole life. I have worked with mosaics, fabric, beads, batik and collage. I am fairly abstract. I have taken some drawing classes but I don't really enjoy drawing - it is too restrictive.
Hi Gina,
ReplyDeleteI have 3 boys, ages 9, 10, and 11 years-old. We have our computer in our main family room for all to see at any point in time. It is really amazing and scary the information that comes up on the computer even unsolicitated. I was looking for a formal letter example and selected one from Google that looked good. The next thing I knew I had a slough of naked women on my screen. I couldn't believe it. I'm actually thinking about getting some type of filter system, so our boys don't come across this trash.
I wish you well, and change for me seems to be slow, but ever present. :)
