Welcome Friends

Sorry to be Late - Something Came Up


Normally, I start working on the weekly RoseBouquet ezine right after breakfast, which can get to be around 10 or 10:30am and I try to be done by noon.

However, today has been quite different. Something came up, and I'm not to reveal any details, but this meant that I had go out two or three times to take care of some details per the instructions of someone else. (I've been promised a reward to come tomorrow.)

However, some these errands turned to be morer complicated than I first thought. I got rather exhausted, but I've always felt that a promise is a promise and I need to be found faithful to my word.

I've had a chance to practice that life principle - all over again, despite the fact that I thought I had proven my faithfulness a number of times in the past.

So much as I'd like take a belated nap, I am resolved now to keep this pledge to produce the RoseBouquet every Tuesday (except the last week of December.)

Now I have question for YOU: is it important to keep a promise - even though it is not convenient right now?

Have you ever disregarded a promise, hoping the other person(s) will not notice?

There is someone who always does see though. Will He give you bigger responsibilities if you don't attend to the small ones - the ones you promised so willingly?

You may have to go find that little key of faith.

What's New: Computer Issues - Again!


Last week - even the week before - my computer system crashed or froze a number of times. It seemed all I could do was turn the computer off, count to 30 and start it up again. But that gets old rather quickly when you do that several times a day.

So I backed up my files and my emails (so I thought) on Friday morning and spent the afternoon installing a newer version of my system. I thought it went well, but knew it would take time to set up all my emails again. Because of the time given to someone else, I didn't get to that until Saturday and Sunday evenings.

I thought things were in order by Monday morning, but again I was away for a number of hours, and still, when I got home no incoming emails.

Yesterday and today went the same way, but I hope tonight to check and see what little error I made in the setup of the emails. Hopefully it is a small, minor detail.

Mind you, I can still login to the controls of each website in my care, and check the emails there. It's just not as handy as doing so in my own KMail program.

I do hope to catch up soon - even this week!

<*> TIPS & SOLUTIONS: <*>

Being Tech-savvy vs. Being Tech-dependent

To be truly tech-savvy you use technology to make your life better and easier. To be tech-dependent is to live as if you can't do without all your gadgets.

To be tech-savvy is to use technology to help you talk to people, learn, share and accomplish your work projects.

To be tech-dependent means you feel as if you are adrift on a sea without all your gadgets.

A certain professional man used emails, online calendars and created Power Points, but for everyday math he used his head, nor did he let everything go into his phone. He chose how to use technology. He maintained his human essence.

I agree heartily with his viewpoint!

Use techology - but keep your human-side alive and well too.
