Playing with my dog offers a great distraction when my frustration level gets too high.
One of my mantras these days is that young and old journalists have to be fearless — not reckless — but fearless when it comes to trying new things. Today I have wrestled with Photoshop, WordPress and assorted other programs to get this blog looking better. I still have a ways to go, but it feels good to live out the mantra. With help from tutorials and occasional breaks to pet my dog when the frustration level got high, I managed to make a logo and put it in place. It still needs work, but I’m happy to get this far.
I often ask people to help me do things, which many times ends up with the more competent person just doing it. I want to stop that and start more of the figuring out things on my own. I think I’ll probably need lot of frustration breaks with Sadie, but I know I can do it.
