Today: I have mixed feelings... - To Fall Like A Drop Of Rain...

A Mix of Feelings...

Today Google updated their bookmark feature on Google Chrome... I have mixed feelings. They've destroyed their old system. I was very happy and comfortable with it, but it's GONE... In its place I find a NEW and unfamiliar creation. Google's creativity has necessitated some unplanned creativity on my part... I've spent most of today trying to figure out how I'm to work with it...

It's nice to be able to import and export my bookmarks easily. I know at some point I'm going to have to get a new computer and I was wondering how I was going to transfer my bookmarks. This will be simple now. I use this bookmark feature A LOT and have quite a complex folder system developed for using them. After spending most of the day at it, I've finally managed to organize my bookmarks so I can access them fairly easily. In the process, I lost one folder completely and was feeling quite unhappy as it contained a lot of hard to re-find music, but when I turned my computer on again, my folder magically reappeared in a different place! How wonderful!!

However, I'm still having difficulty bookmarking new items and saving these in the relevant folder. The old system worked so nicely, showing me my whole folder structure, at a glance, and allowing me to choose the one I wanted. The new system doesn't seem to work so well with my complex system and I have trouble too, moving the bookmarks from one location to another.

I get VERY tired even thinking about designing a simpler folder structure, which might work better. I didn't plan on spending time creating THIS, but maybe I need to anyway... or maybe I need to stop using this feature so heavily. Maybe I have enough things already bookmarked and don't need more... or maybe there's another option I'm not yet ready to see, which can work really well...

About This Blog....

I've lived on my own for more than 20 years now and although I don't miss the constant presence of some other person in my life AT ALL, I felt there was something missing and I've been thinking about what this could be... My inner work has clearly shown me that MANY things are best shared ONLY inside with my own parts and faces; as this is where they can be REALLY understood and appreciated. The occasional sharing I do with my few friends, although infrequent, is VERY important too, but there still seemed to be something I was missing... Puzzling about what this was, I've determined that what I missed was sharing the small things which felt interesting, important or meaningful at sometime during my day.

However, in the past, when I had others close, like "A MAN" in my life, I was MOST often disappointed. What felt important, interesting or meaningful to me, just wasn't to this other person. Consequently, I don't really want to share with any one particular person. Instead, I'm wanting to allow what I feel inspired to share fall like a drop of rain... free to find its own way to where it may be of use or interest...

This blog is, therefore, a series of posts sharing some feature of my day... Like a drop of rain, each one is free to find its own way to those for whom it might be interesting or meaningful without direction by me... Some days I have nothing to share, but I also frequently write small Haiku-like poems inspired by some piece of my day... It is my space for sharing my small puzzles, feelings, thoughts, poems, some of my current art and...and...and... with whoever wants to stop by... I do often revise posts... I usually continue working with a post until I begin a new one, so most revisions happen before I start the next post... but that isn't the end... nothing posted here is cast in stone or set in concrete. Revisions are to be expected and they can happen at any time. However, since 2017, because the work I've been doing on my web-site has been mostly enough, I haven't shared or revised much here until the end of 2021... Nonetheless, I do hope that you find something of interest... and I don't think I've stopped working here... I've just taken a break or rest for awhile...
